After Zendaya‘s jam-packed 2026 release schedule, you may not hear from the actress for quite a bit.
The Emmy Award winner is slated to front five hefty projects coming out this year. First, she’ll star in The Drama, which premieres April 3, and a little over a week later, the long-awaited third season of Euphoria will debut on April 12. Then, Zendaya will have about three months off before Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey hits theaters on July 17. Two weeks later, the highly anticipated fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland will come out on July 31. And to close out the year, Zendaya will star in the third Dune film, which is slated for a Dec. 18 release.
With so many projects on her plate this year, Zendaya told Fandango she hopes that “people don’t get sick of me,” and that she jokingly plans on going into “hiding for just a little bit” after the films and show have all released.
“I really appreciate everyone who supports any of the movies or supports my career in any kind of way,” she said. “I’m deeply appreciative, and like I said, I just hope you guys don’t get sick of me this year, because, I’ll tell you what, I’m disappearing for a little bit. I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit.”
While Zendaya may plan on stepping away from the spotlight after 2026, she will re-enter the press cycle in the summer of 2027 to promote Shrek 5. The film arrives June 30, and she will voice Shrek’s daughter, Felicia, as mainstays Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey) and Cameron Diaz (Fiona) return.
