Upcoming Zendaya Movies and TV Shows
Here you can find all of Zendaya’s upcoming movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, her fans may get disheartened as there is only a single movie this year. But the exciting news is that for the year 2026, Zenday is all set with 5 different big projects. Below I have mentioned all of Zendaya’s upcoming projects:
Shrek 5
Shrek k 5 will be back in the theatres, almost after 15 years. Shrek Forever was the last part of the Shrek series and was released in 2010. The success of Puss in Boots spinoffs has resulted in the creation of Shrek 5. According to The Direct, the movie will be in theaters on 23rd December 2026.
As the movie is coming after such a big gap, it is hard to determine what it will entail. However, the trailer depicts that Zendaya will be playing the role of Shrek and Fiona’s grown-up daughter, Felicia. Also, Shrek and Fiona will handle parenthood as their children are grown up. The other two children are nowhere in the first trailer. In addition to that, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy are all returning.
The Drama
If you are a fan of Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, here is good news for you. “The Dramat” is one of the new Zendaya movies this year. While there is no confirmed release date, it is speculated that we can watch their exciting chemistry by the end of this year. The story revolves around a couple whose relationship will face dramatic changes just before their wedding day.
Euphoria Season 3
One of the upcoming Zendaya movies and TV shows is Euphoria. She will play a strong character who will offer significant input in season 3. The season has just started filming the story and thus it can be expected to be released in 2026. However, there is no such information about the storyline of season three.

The Odyssey
Odyssey is based on Homer’s ancient poem and chronicles the saga of Odysseus. The series has a $250 million budget. Zendaya will be seen alongside her real-life fiancee Tom Holland. Although her role is not cleared yet there are high chances that she may be playing the role of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. However, the release date for this series was announced as 17 July 2026.
Spider-Man 4
The majority of fans believed that No Way Home was the end of the Spider-Man series. But in actuality, it was not. Zendaya and Holland not only share on-screen romance but are engaged to each other in real life. Almost 5 years after the previous movie, Spider-Man 4 is back and will be released in theatres on 31st July 2026. The movie will start filming in the summer in the UK. According to reports, Zendaya will have fewer roles as compared to previous movies. This is because she has a busy schedule and also matches the narrative of “No Way Home” as everyone has lost all the memory of Peter Parker. However, it remains unclear what will be the story of the movie.
Dune 3
This movie is based on Frank Herbert’s second novel, “Dune Messiah”. The filmmaker of Dune 3 is reportedly aiming to start its shooting this summer. At present, the release is expected to be in December 2026. It may be hard for them to complete it by the deadline. Zendaya will still be playing her role as Paul Atreidies’ Freemen lover, Chani, in Dune 3. However, if you have read Messiah, you will be aware Chani dies in childbirth. It may mean there will be a smaller role of Chani in the movie.
