‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Episode 2 had a ‘K.C. Undercover’ reunion Zendaya fans probably missed

Fans of the hit HBO show were in a tizzy after they figured out the Zendaya-Kadeem Harrison reunion.

As far as unexpected moments go, Rue Bennett (Zendaya) and Big Eddy's (Kadeem Hardison) surprise reunion in 'Euphoria' Season 3 had fans' jaws dropping. For the unaware, Hardison and Zendaya shared screenspace in Disney's 'K.C. Undercover' with the latter leading a double life as a student by day, and an undercover spy whenever. Hardison played Craig Cooper, who is a spy himself. The series had three seasons from 2015 and 18, receiving positive critical reviews.

In 'Euphoria' Season 3, Big Eddy (Hardison) is the manager of the Silver Slipper and Rue’s pseudo-mentor. This saw a flurry of reactions on social media. It was nostalgia for one of the fans. "Oh man, I loved that series of hers so much, I watched all the episodes when I was a kid. That's when I first got to know her," the comment said. "Wow, I didn't even recognize him," another added. "I knew I was recognizing him from somewhere," a fan said. The jokes were not far off. "What’s this supposed to be a crossover episode?" a tweet read. "I'll have to watch it just because of that," one of the fans added.

‘K.C. Undercover’ is set in Washington, D.C. The series follows K.C. Cooper (Zendaya), a high school math genius, whose parents recruit her to be part of the spy agency called ‘The Organization’. Each episode follows K.C. and her family as they navigate family life while also taking part in missions to save the country. For Zendaya, the move from a spy to a complex character in Rue in ‘Euphoria’ is a massive change. Hardison’s character is recurring, and fans will see more of him over the course of the season. Hardison is best-known for Showtime comedy, ‘Black Monday’, and for playing Bowser in the Netflix series ‘Teenage Bounty Hunters’.

Reprising their roles are Hunter Schafer as Jules Vaughn. Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow will return as series regulars. As will Alanna Ubach, Daeg Faerch, Dominic Fike, Melvin Bonez Estes, Nika King, Paula Marshall, Sophia Rose Wilson, and Zak Steine. Colman Domingo will return as a guest star, while Martha Kelly and Chloe Cherry are promoted to series regulars. Also joining are Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Toby Wallace. Sam Levinson returns to steer the ship, continuing his three-pronged role as writer, director, and executive producer. ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 drops Sundays weekly at 9 PM ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max.
