For 'Euphoria' fans, it was a wait that was worth it after Season 2 premiered on Sunday, January 9. It was three years ago that Zendaya stunned as Rue in the hit HBO teen drama and now she's back as the girl who's struggling with addiction and is on a journey that she hopes is worth it all in the end. Although a major chunk of the episode focused on Fez (Angus Cloud), Zendaya's presence on screen was welcomed by fans.

The actress' stocks just rose higher after 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and most felt 'Euphoria' was where she flaunted her acting chops to perfection. "One thing the writers gon do is protect Zendaya innocence. It’s penis all over the screen and they said “here’s what we’ll do just push her in she shower and we’ll raise the camera when she pulls her shirt up. No nudity whatsoever” honestly i love it #Euphoria," read one of the tweets as fans shared their thoughts and excitement about Season 2.

"Calling it, Zendaya for best actress, and Jacob Elordi for best supporting actor for 2023 golden globe winners. #Euphoria #EuphoriaHBO #EuphoriaSeason2," a fan wrote.

"Dear. @Zendaya can we be best friends? I’ve been watching #euphoria and I love your work so I think it only makes sense we hang out and talk about the 90s and comic books. This is the logical progression of our lives. Love, your new best friend: me," a fan remarked. "I have waited all day long at my work to come home and watch #EuphoriaHBO #EuphoriaSeason2 #EuphoriaRedCarpet #Euphoria #euphoria2 I know that it is 12:21 am but I am in the middle of the episode and WOW it was worth waiting for! #Zendaya Zendaya is giving it all in every scene!"
