New cast additions for the third season include legendary actress Sharon Stone, who plays Lexi’s boss, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, and Eli Roth.
Rumors Of Recent Feud Between Co-Stars Zendaya And Sydney Sweeney Were Shut Down

Fans quickly hopped online to suggest the two were feuding, but the source told the outlet that Sweeney was absent from the footage because she was shooting a scene for the show.
The Actress Humorously Addressed The Speculation Around Her Apparent Marriage To Fiancé Tom Holland
While appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Zendaya addressed speculation that she is married to Holland after her longtime stylist and friend, Law Roach, said the couple had already tied the knot.
The “Dune” star commented on fans creating their own AI wedding photos of the couple amid the speculation.
“I was out, and about in real life, and people are like, ‘Oh my god, your wedding photos are really gorgeous.’ And I was like, ‘Babe, they’re AI.’ They’re not real,” Zendaya said, adding that “many people” were mad they weren’t invited to the ceremony they believed was real.
However, she stopped short of confirming or denying the secret wedding speculation, instead having a little fun with Kimmel and fans about the whole thing.
Saying she wanted to “clear the confusion,” Zendaya shared wedding footage from her film, “The Drama.”
In the clip, Zendaya plays a bride, and co-star Robert Pattinson is the groom, but the actress replaced Pattinson’s head with an image of Holland’s instead, causing the audience to laugh.
