    LOS ANGELES --

    Multidisciplinary production company UNIT9 has signed Swiss director Samuel Morris for his first U.S. representation spanning commercials and branded content.

    Morris’ ability to organically weave brands into cinematic stories has made him a sought-after commercial director, helming campaigns for The North Face, Under Armour, Adidas, Swisscom, and Greenpeace, among many others. He has also directed edgy and moving music videos for international artists like Zeal & Ardor, Audio Dope, Bausa, and Gardner & The Tree. In longform, Morris directed two seasons and nine episodes of the Swiss coming-of-age dramatic television series Nr. 47 for SRF, and the Tribeca documentary feature film Desert Dogs.

    A self-taught filmmaker, Morris developed his voice by diving headfirst into projects and figuring things out as he went–a process that shaped his instinctive, visually driven approach. Across documentaries, music videos, and commercials, his kinetic camera work pulls viewers in close, creating an intimacy that feels immediate and alive.

    Morris said of UNIT9, his first U.S. roost, “I felt a spark with the team immediately–they have a great vibe and I greatly admire the work they produce across every film medium. I’m excited for new opportunities in the US and to find new audiences to connect with.”

    Emily Malito, executive producer of UNIT9, added, “Samuel has been crushing it in Europe. He’s an intriguing director bound to make a big splash in the U.S.. I’ve been a fan of his for a while, and we’re very proud to welcome him to our roster.”

    “Euphoria,” Returning For A 3rd Season, Launched A Generation Of New Stars

    Friday, April 10, 2026

    Few TV shows have served as a launchpad for an array of new talent quite like "Euphoria," which returns for a third season Sunday on HBO Max.

    Premiering in 2019, this is the series that showcased the rising careers of Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney — all of whom have since become bona fide stars.

    The dark suburban teen drama has also featured more established figures like Colman Domingo, who has received two best actor Oscar nominations in the last few years, and the late Eric Dane. And it's given visibility and recognition to other actors: Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow and Barbie Ferreira. Angus Cloud, another of its breakout performers, died in 2023.

    Series creator Sam Levinson says it's a thrill to see many cast members thriving.

    "The thing is when you're casting, every person that walks in, you're hoping this is the person, this is going to be the character," he told The Associated Press at the season premiere. "And sometimes when they do, they walk in, they have the talent, they've got the passion, the enthusiasm for it, and they inspire you.

    "To see them working with such incredible filmmakers like (Christopher) Nolan and (Guillermo) del Toro ... it's just exciting."

    Here's a look at how some of the "Euphoria" stars got their starts — and how they've been keeping busy since we last saw their characters four years ago.

    Zendaya (Rue Bennett) 
    She soared, quite literally, as a trapeze artist in "The Greatest Showman" in 2017, two years before "Euphoria" premiered.

    But Zendaya has soared far higher in the seven years since she first played Rue Bennett.

    The actor began as a Disney Channel star and went on to play MJ in "Spider-Man" movies opposite her... Read More
