American actress-singer Zendaya officially made Emmys history.

Zendaya landed a second Emmy nomination this year for her role as Rue in the Sam Levinson-helmed hit HBO series “Euphoria”.

The actress won the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2020 for the series, becoming the youngest two-time Emmy acting nominee at age 25.

She previously was the youngest winner in 2020. The 2022 Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on September 12 on NBC while also streaming live on Peacock.

The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” star portrays struggling drug addict Rue in the HBO high school series, which was recently renewed for a third season following its record-shattering Season 2, making it the most-watched series in HBO history behind “Game of Thrones”.

“Euphoria” was also nominated for the Outstanding Drama Series for the first time. Zendaya is also the youngest producing nominee, up for that category this year for her work behind the scenes as well.

Overall, “Euphoria” received 16 Emmy nominations this year, including Sydney Sweeney in the Supporting Actress in a Drama category, Martha Kelly in the Guest Actress in a Drama category, and Colman Domingo in the Guest Actor in a Drama category. The series also picked up a raft of craft nominations.

Produced in partnership with A24, “Euphoria” also features Hunter Schafer, Nika King, Eric Dane, Angus Cloud, Jacob Elordi, Algee Smith, Alexa Demie, Barbie Ferreira, Maude Apatow, Dominic Fike, and Storm Reid.

Zendaya also produces the series alongside showrunner Levinson, Drake, Adel “Future” Nur, Ashley Levinson, Ron Leshem, Daphna Levin, Hadas Mozes Lichtenstein, and more.
