Zendaya Teases time off after back-to-back releases

Zendaya is gearing up for one of the busiest years of her career and is already looking forward to stepping back.

The 29-year-old actress revealed she plans to “disappear for a little bit” after a jam-packed 2026 that includes four major film releases and the long-awaited return of Euphoria.

Speaking during a recent interview alongside Robert Pattinson for their upcoming film The Drama, Zendaya joked about her heavy presence on screens this year. 

“I just hope people don’t get sick of me,” she said with a laugh, before adding that she intends to take a break once her current slate wraps.

“I’m deeply appreciative… but after this, I’m disappearing for a little bit,” she shared, hinting at a temporary retreat from the spotlight.

The actress kicks off the year with The Drama, set to hit theaters April 3, where she stars opposite Pattinson as part of a couple navigating relationship challenges. 

Just days later, she returns as Rue in Euphoria, which premieres its third season on April 12.

Zendaya’s schedule remains stacked through the rest of the year. 

She will appear in The Odyssey, followed by Spider-Man: Brand New Day alongside fiancé Tom Holland, and later reprise her role in Dune: Part Three.

In The Odyssey, Zendaya is set to portray Athena, while continuing her role as Chani in the Dune franchise, further cementing her place in major blockbuster projects.

Despite the demanding schedule, her collaborators have praised her work ethic. 

Pattinson recently described her as “so consistent in her professionalism” and noted her ability to remain kind and engaged with both cast and crew, even during busy shoots.
