Fans of HBO’s hit teen drama Euphoria are eagerly waiting for any scrap of information about the upcoming third season. In a recent podcast interview, actress Sydney Sweeney, who portrays Cassie Howard on the show, discussed the new season and the show’s secretive nature.
Sweeney spoke with Josh Horowitz on his podcast, jokingly comparing the difficulty of discussing Euphoria season 3 to the notoriously tight-lipped world of Marvel movies. “Honestly, it’s, like, as scary as talking about Marvel,” she said, revealing that even a single comment can snowball into major news.
While she couldn’t divulge many details, Sweeney did express her own excitement for the new season. “I’m excited too,” she admitted. She went on to praise her character, Cassie, calling her a “dream to play” and expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to portray such a complex character at a young age in her career.
Sweeney’s busy schedule recently included filming for the horror movie “Immaculate” alongside her Euphoria commitments. However, she revealed during an earlier interview at SXSW that she would soon be returning to the Euphoria set. This news comes as a relief to fans, especially considering the show’s lengthy filming schedule, which typically takes eight to ten months per season.
Sweeney spoke fondly of the cast and crew, describing them as a kind of family. She highlighted the unique bond she shares with co-star Maude Apatow, comparing their closeness to that of real sisters.
Euphoria, created by Sam Levinson, has garnered critical acclaim for its raw portrayal of teenage life, exploring themes of addiction, identity, and trauma. The show’s second season concluded with a dramatic showdown between Maddy and Cassie, leaving viewers with many unanswered questions.
