Internet Smells Something Fishy Following Zendaya's Treatment of 'Dune: Part Three' Against 'Euphoria' Season 3

Published 03/17/2026, 9:58 PM EDT

Even silent moments turn into loud displays under the internet's strong surveillance. Recently, fans think they hear an abnormality in Zendaya's interactions with her two main projects, which are Dune: Part Three and Euphoria. The first project gets showered with golden-hour premiere events and emotional speeches. But the second project gets a dull atmosphere marked by silence and a feeling of distance.

The internet maintains its continuous observation of every move the actress has been making. For instance, she shared the Dune: Part Three trailer on her Instagram but did not talk about the HBO show, even at talk shows. Fans are always watching and questioning whether Zendaya has a favourite project between Dune: Part Three and Euphoria Season 3.

Social media users have begun to draw comparisons between Zendaya's excitement for Dune, which arrives in December, and her weaker enthusiasm for Euphoria, which arrives in about a month. While some fans remain confused, others believe HBO has not begun promoting the show yet. Meanwhile, several other fans are digging deeper into the show's production problems.

Euphoria faced delays, creative disputes, and public criticism during the Sydney Sweeney controversy, which has created the current gloomy and silent atmosphere surrounding the show. However, Zendaya currently handles multiple high-profile projects across both film and television, such as The Drama, The Odyssey, etc., which packs her current schedule too tightly to go out of her way to promote the show. But fans have stronger reactions to the triple threat's silence on Euphoria.

Fans react to Zendaya's Euphoria vs Dune promotion tactics

The internet detects a change that people mistakenly understand as preferential treatment. Zendaya, who established her global identity through Rue's chaotic behavior, has not promoted Euphoria yet and has disappointed some fans. However, she now rules over extensive movie franchises and worldwide film universes, which makes the transition and evolution of her career more visible and acceptable. In a post shared by a fan account, a deluge of comments poured in to both defend and doubt the actress's motives.

Some fans noted that none of the cast members of the show have been promoting Euphoria Season 3, not just Zendaya. They think either the promotion schedule has not kicked off yet, or darker controversies are at play, such as product credit discrepancies and more.
