Zendaya‘s taking a break from the movies to get back into one of her iconic characters … ’cause she’s officially shooting the new season of “Euphoria” — and, it’s getting intense.

The actress was spotted in character as Rue Bennett from the hit TV show … sitting out in a field while Priscilla Delgado — a new cast member on the show — tears into her.

Watch the video … Delgado can be heard screaming at Zendaya — getting nose to nose with her scene partner during the unhinged interaction.

As you know … Zendaya’s appeared in all 18 episodes of the show’s first two seasons — winning two Emmys and a Golden Globe for her work.

Zendaya previously danced around questions about season three of the show … telling a reporter on a red carpet last year she has no say on when production for the season starts up.

Of course, Zendaya’s been busy with big movie projects recently … and, it was just announced she’s the voice of Shrek and Fiona’s ogre daughter in the upcoming “Shrek 5.”
