'Euphoria' Actor Says She Hasn't Paid Rent For 6 Months Amid Season 3 Delay

Nika King, who plays the mother of Zendaya's character Rue, revealed she's struggled to find work during the HBO series' lengthy hiatus.

“Euphoria” may have garnered Nika King and her castmates critical praise and some awards season love, but the actor is feeling the financial squeeze more than two years after the HBO series’ second season aired.

King, who plays Leslie Bennett on “Euphoria,” said during a recent stand-up show that she doesn’t know when fans can expect new episodes of the show.

“Season 3 is coming out — I don’t f**king know,” the actor and comedian said, as seen in a TikTok video she shared Monday. “Don’t ask me, I don’t know. It’s one of those things. People are like, ‘We need Season 3.’ I’m like, ‘Bitch, I need Season 3.’ I haven’t paid my rent in six months.”

King then took a playful dig at her co-star, Zendaya, who plays her character’s daughter, Rue Bennett.

“Zendaya’s over in Paris at Fashion Week,” she quipped. “I’m like, ‘Bitch, come home! I need you. Mama needs you!’”
