Zendaya will not attend the 2026 Met Gala, taking a break after back-to-back press tours for The Drama and Euphoria season 3, as she prepares for a busy 2026 slate that includes The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Dune 3.
Nicole Hockley argues that The Drama reveals the warning signs leading up to violence and shows that prevention comes from ordinary people recognizing signals, taking action, and connecting youth to support. Sandy Hook Promise’s Know the Signs program teaches how to spot isolation, bullying, and access to firearms, and how a simple outreach—like inviting a student into a supportive community—can interrupt a potential harm trajectory. The piece emphasizes moving from awareness to action and treating intervention as caring, not overreaction.
A therapist explains that a partner’s disturbing admission can shatter the relationship’s core beliefs, prompting a philosophical and emotional reconsideration of safety and trust.

Production designer Zosia Mackenzie explains how The Drama uses a real 1800s Boston apartment, filled with mid‑century furnishings, art, and carefully chosen lighting and props, to ground Emma and Charlie’s relationship as its plot twist unfolds; authentic set details and a focus on ‘double empathy’ turn the space into a central, emotionally charged character.
Vanity Fair explains how The Drama’s shocking twist and surrounding backlash—TMZ spoilers and a resurfaced Borgli essay—have overshadowed the film.

Early critics’ responses to The Drama are mixed, but Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are highlighted for strong central performances; Deadline hails Pattinson’s turn as a career-best, CBC calls it fascinating though potentially alienating, and the UK Guardian praises Kristoffer Borgli’s provocative style, while Australia’s review is harsher. Others like Mashable and Empire applaud the cringe-comedy edge, and Rotten Tomatoes sits around 85% on release weekend. The drama arrives in theaters on April 3.
A resurfaced 2012 essay by Kristoffer Borgli about a May-December relationship has reignited controversy as his upcoming English-language film The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, raises his Hollywood profile; the piece recounts a teenage romance, questions social norms, references Woody Allen’s Manhattan, notes that Norway’s age of consent is 16, and THR has sought comment while presenting the translated essay text.
