Sydney Sweeney is back as everyone’s favorite emotionally unstable blonde in HBO’s Euphoria! That’s right, Cassie Howard—high school’s messiest love warrior—is returning for Season 3, and according to Sydney, things are about to go even more off the rails. Like, if the train already flew off the tracks, did a cartwheel, and landed in a TikTok thirst trap… this season is the sequel.
In a recent interview with IconicHipster.com, the 27-year-old scream queen of Gen Z chaos gushed about her beloved character Cassie, the human embodiment of a Lana Del Rey song and a Pinterest mood board labeled “crying in the bathtub.”
“I have such a soft spot in my heart for Cassie,” Sydney said, while presumably cradling a scented candle and whispering affirmations to a photo of Nate Jacobs. “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. Like… maybe a tragic, confusing, possibly illegal version of love, but still!”
And don’t worry—Cassie’s wild ride isn’t slowing down. In fact, Sydney begged for more chaos. Literally.
“I’ll read something, then I’ll call Sam [Levinson], and I’m like, ‘Let’s go crazier.’ And he’s like, ‘I’m all in,’” she revealed.
If you’re wondering how much more unhinged this show can get—after the hot tub puke, the hallway scream-fests, and Maddie almost body-slamming Cassie into another dimension—Sydney promises: “This season is unhinged.” Translation: buckle up, besties.
While she’s busy method acting her way into another emotional breakdown on Euphoria, Sydney is also taking over literally every screen known to man. She’s got Echo Valley coming to Apple TV+ in June (probably less crying, but no promises), then Americana in August, and The Housemaid in December (yes, she’s haunting the holidays too). She’s also filming a Christy Martin biopic, and if that wasn’t enough, she’s starring in Split Fiction, directed by Jon M. Chu—aka the man who made musicals sexy again.
So basically, Sydney Sweeney is booked, busy, and still emotionally spiraling—in the best way possible. And if Cassie starts crying in a cornfield in Season 3? Just know Sydney probably asked for it.
