“I think Euphoria taught me a lot about myself. It made me more confident in my own abilities, because I doubted myself a lot,” Zendaya said. “I was looking for something to prove I can do it,” she says. “Euphoria served as that, in the healthiest way. I never want to plateau as an actress – I always want to be able to explore and push myself. [Being an actress] brings me to places and makes me do things I’d probably never do because I’m such an introverted person.”
“Even though Euphoria coming out was amazing and exciting, it was also extremely stressful. It gave me a lot of anxiety every week,” she further added. “That’s something I deal with; I have anxiety. I already know after this interview is over, I’m going to spiral about it for weeks.”

However, several fans’ theories are surfacing over the internet suggest that Rue might return in the second season.
