Zendaya is set to make 2026 one of the most defining years of her career, with a powerful lineup of blockbuster projects spanning television and film. The 29-year-old actress and singer will headline three of the most anticipated releases of the year: Euphoria Season 3, her fourth Spider-Man movie, and Dune: Part Three.
The Golden Globe winner will return as Rue Bennett in the third and final season of HBO’s critically acclaimed drama Euphoria. The series is scheduled to premiere on April 12, 2026, and will introduce a significant five-year time jump, moving the characters beyond high school into adulthood.
Anticipation is already at a peak, with the show’s official trailer crossing a record-breaking 100 million views within 48 hours of its release earlier this month.
Alongside returning cast members Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi, the new season will feature an expanded lineup of high-profile guest stars, including Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Natasha Lyonne and Eli Roth, adding further star power to the final chapter.
Zendaya will then swing back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set for release on July 31, 2026. The film marks her fourth appearance in the franchise alongside her fiancé Tom Holland, following the massive success of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Reports indicate that filming has already wrapped, fueling excitement among fans worldwide.
Closing out the year, Zendaya will reprise her role as Chani in Dune: Part Three, expected to arrive in cinemas in December 2026. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the film adapts Dune Messiah and explores the darker consequences of Paul Atreides’ rise to power. Timothée Chalamet returns in the lead role.
With leading roles across globally successful franchises, Zendaya’s 2026 slate positions her at the peak of her stardom and firmly establishes her as one of Hollywood’s most influential talents.
