Congratulations are in order for Zandaya, who is set to earn a whopping $1 million an episode once the third season of Euphoria starts filming.

According to Puck News, the 26-year-old actor, who has won two Emmys for her role as Rue Bennett, “just closed a big re-negotiation” with HBO, and will reportedly earn close to a million an episode, making her one of Hollywood’s highest-paid TV actors.
Zendaya made Emmy history for the role back in 2020. After winning Best Lead Actress in a Drama, she became the youngest actor to win the award, and in 2022, she made history again by emerging as the only Black woman to claim the award twice. Additionally, Zendaya was also nominated for Outstanding Drama Series as a producer on Euphoria, and would have made history as the youngest executive producer to win the trophy had she emerged victorious but was ultimately beaten out by Succession??????.
“My greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people,” Zendaya said during her acceptance speech in 2022. “I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story with me. I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know I’m so grateful for your stories, and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her.”
With all the hard work she puts into filming Euphoria, and the countless Emmy wins, she deserves every penny.
