In response, Zendaya revealed she was actually supposed to make her directorial debut for an episode in season 2, but the rising star didn’t have enough time to prepare. She said:

“It’s funny. I was actually supposed to direct episode 6, but then I had to act in it.” 

Zendaya continued:

“I didn’t have enough time, so unfortunately, I wasn’t able to this time around. I wanted to have enough time to do it the right way.”

The Oakland native added:

“So, next season probably.”

HBO’s hit series “Euphoria” follows the troubled life of 17-year-old Rue Bennett (Zendaya), a drug addict fresh from rehab with no plans to stay clean. The series also showcases a group of high school students and their experiences of identity, trauma, drugs, self-harm, family, friendships, love, and sex.
