'Euphoria's Nika King Jokes She Hasn't 'Paid Rent in 6 Months' Amid Season 3 Delays

During a stand-up comedy set, Nika joked that she hasn’t paid her rent in six months due to season 3 production being delayed.

During a recent stand-up comedy gig, King -- who plays Leslie Bennett, the mother of Zendaya's character Rue in the Sam Levinson-created series -- joked that she knows nothing about the upcoming season but is just as eager for the show to come back because she has bills to pay. King's IMDb page lists that she is set to star in three forthcoming projects: season three of Euphoria, a film titled Possum Trot, and a short called The Rebel Girls. Euphoria is expected to commence production on season 3 in 2024, after disruptions caused by strikes involving the show's writers and actors, but the new episodes won't premiere on HBO until 2025.
