There might have been a global pandemic but our actors found a way to work around it. 'Euphoria' creator Sam Levinson shot the film 'Malcom & Marie' with Zendaya and John David Washington between June 17 and July 2 at the Caterpillar House in Carmel, California. The WGA, DGA and SAG-AFTRA reportedly all approved the production and the cast and crew had filmed under strict Covid-19 safety protocols and undertaken all precautions.
