\n\tThe Euphoria<\/a> cast weren\u2019t the only ones who reunited for the new season of the hit HBO drama.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring season three, episode two, titled \u201cAmerica My Dream,\u201d Zendaya<\/a> shared the screen again with her former onscreen father, Kadeem Hardison. However, this time, it\u2019s safe to say the setting was much less kid-friendly. <\/p>\n

\n\tZendaya and Hardison first starred together in the Disney Channel<\/a> show, K.C. Undercover, which ran for three seasons from 2015 to 2018. In the series, the Emmy winner plays K.C. Cooper, a high school technology wiz and karate black-belt who discovers that both her parents are secret spies and expect her to follow in their footsteps. Hardison plays her dad, Craig Cooper.<\/p>\n

\n\tYears later, they\u2019ve reunited but in much more mature roles. In Euphoria season three, Hardison plays Big Eddy, who helps manage operations at Alamo Brown\u2019s (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) Silver Slipper strip club. His character interacts with Zendaya\u2019s Rue at the club when she goes to work for Alamo to work off the massive debt owed to her former drug dealer, Laurie (Martha Kelly).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHappy y\u2019all enjoyed the reunion\u2026 always a blast to share the screen with the homie,\u201d Hardison wrote on Instagram (below) after the new Euphoria episode premiered on Sunday. \u201cIf you\u2019ve been watching, you already know. wearing the chestnut flip-up specs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe K.C. Undercover connection wasn\u2019t the only subtle nod that fans noticed from the latest episode. Hardison\u2019s signature flip-up glasses, initially popularized by his memorable role as Dwayne Wayne on the 1980s\/90s sitcom\u00a0A Different World, also made a cameo. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs the season continues, and Zendaya\u2019s Rue finds herself more entangled in Alamo\u2019s dangerous empire, I\u2019m sure fans can expect more interactions between her and Hardison\u2019s character, and maybe another flip-up glasses cameo, too. New episodes of Euphoria air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET\/ 6 p.m. PT on HBO and\u00a0Max<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Euphoria cast weren\u2019t the only ones who reunited for the new season of the hit HBO drama.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,36573,88,27686,49615],"class_list":["post-603119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-disney-channel","tag-entertainment","tag-euphoria","tag-zendaya"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
