After nearly 3 long years, HBO has now dropped the first official trailer for Euphoria Season 3, and we can clearly say it is already breaking the internet. With a major time jump, the tone of the show will undoubtedly be darker, and even the trailer hinted at some explosive new storyline, which has already taken over the internet. But apart from the drama, multiple industry reports claimed that Euphoria Season 3 is shaping up to be HBO’s most expensive season yet. It has a rumoured production budget of nearly USD 200 million, equating to roughly USD 25 million per episode. However, a major part of the cost has increased due to the higher salaries of its cast, who have become A-list actors.
Is Zendaya or Sydney Sweeney the highest-paid actor on Euphoria 3?
Zendaya, who plays the lead role of ‘Rue Bennett,’ is also the executive producer of the show. She is reportedly the highest-paid cast member in Season 3. According to Puck News journalis, Matthew Belloni, Zendaya renegotiated her contract and secured an unprecedented deal worth USD 1 million per episode. If the report is confirmed, she could be among the highest-paid actors on TV. But HBO has not officially reacted to the claim. Meanwhile, the actress has grown popular since the show first aired in 2019, earning her two Emmy Awards for her role.
