Zendaya is set to take a step back from the spotlight in 2027 following an exceptionally busy period in her career, with a string of high-profile film and television releases scheduled for 2026.
The Emmy-winning actor confirmed her plans during a recent interview with Fandango, where she spoke candidly about the need to pause after completing multiple major projects. Her upcoming slate includes The Drama, Dune: Part Three, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and the third season of Euphoria.
“I’ll tell you what, after this, I’m disappearing for a little bit. I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit,” she said, hinting at a temporary break after her intense workload.

“I really appreciate everyone who supports any of the movies or supports my career in any kind of way. I’m deeply appreciative,” she added.
Despite her planned hiatus, fans can expect her return sooner rather than later. Zendaya is already confirmed to appear in Shrek 5, which is slated for release in 2027 alongside returning cast members Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz.
