Emmy-nominated star Sydney Sweeney opened up about what fans can expect from her return as Cassie in the highly anticipated Euphoria Season 3. Production on the latest installment of the hit HBO drama is still underway.
What did Sydney Sweeney say about Euphoria Season 3?
During a recent interview, Sweeney promised that Euphoria Season 3 will be crazier than previous installments, teasing another chaotic season for her character. In the Season 2 finale, Cassie was dumped by Jacob Elordi’s Nate, after her sister Lexi made them characters in her play.
“I have such a spot in my heart for Cassie, and I hold her really close and dear. She is crazy. She makes so many mistakes,” Sweeney shared. “She’s flawed on so many levels, but she does it all from a place of love. It could be a sad version of love, as well. It’s so much fun to play a character that is as crazy as she is. Sam [Levinson] is such a brilliant filmmaker to work with, because I’ll read something, then I’ll call him, and I’m like, ‘Let’s go crazier.’ And he’s like, ‘I’m all in.’ And this season is unhinged.”
Euphoria is created and written by Levinson, who is also executive producing with Zendaya and Drake. It is based on an Israeli miniseries of the same name. The series follows a group of high school students as they struggle to move through the worlds of drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love, and friendship. Season 3 will feature the return of Zendaya as Rue, Hunter Schafer as Jules, Jacob Elordi as Nate, Alexa Demie as Maddy, Maude Apatow as Lexi, Dominic Fike as Elliot, Eric Dane as Cal, Colman Domingo as Ali, Martha Kelly as Laurie, and Chloe Cherry as Faye.
The next installment is expected to open with a major time jump, which brings the main characters out of the show’s original high school setting. The coming-of-age drama is slated to make its return sometime in 2026. Season 3 will also include new cast members Sharon Stone, Rosalia, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, and Anna Van Patten.
