Fans Won’t Believe What’s Coming Next on 'Euphoria,' Sydney Sweeney Warns

Sydney Sweeney promises fans that Euphoria Season 3 will up the ante in ways they’ve never seen before. The actress, who plays the emotionally erratic and often meme-worthy Cassie, revealed in a new interview with Empire magazine that the upcoming season is "unhinged" even by Euphoria’s over-the-top standards.

“I have such a spot in my heart for Cassie, and I hold her really close and dear,” Sweeney said. “She is crazy. She makes so many mistakes. 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.”

Sweeney, who’s currently filming the show’s long-awaited third season, laughed when the interviewer asked if things were truly more chaotic. “Yes,” she confirmed, hinting at even wilder storylines. The upcoming episodes, which reportedly pick up after a time jump post-high school, are shaping up to push the envelope.

Sweeney, who was just 21 when Euphoria first premiered in 2019, has since become a powerhouse in Hollywood, starring in rom-coms like Anyone But You and the psychological thriller Immaculate. Yet, it’s Cassie that fans can’t seem to separate from her.

“It definitely changed my life,” Sweeney said of the role. “I think that with the amount of access, with social media, and how much content gets put out there of Cassie… People do have a hard time separating actors from their characters. And especially someone like Cassie, where she is hated and she’s loved, but she’s definitely a complicated character. And so I think that that could confuse people, for sure. But if they’re hating me for decisions that my character is making, then I’m playing the character correctly.”

Sweeney’s next big project, Echo Valley, hits Apple TV+ on June 13, but for now, all eyes are on Euphoria. As she put it, creator Sam Levinson is “all in” for taking the drama to new, unhinged heights.
