Premiering on April 12, the hit HBO series’ comeback has been clouded with controversy – from fans bewildered at preview photos of Sweeney’s character, Cassie, posing provocatively while dressed as a baby, to rumours about a feud between Zendaya and Sweeney, who seemed to be avoiding each other at the show’s Los Angeles premiere.

“They really did [get along]. And I’m not just saying that,” Herman told the show hosts, adding, “[There is] no drama. Really, they’ve created this beautiful working relationship and everyone wants to do the work, to come in and do the job.”
