Sydney Sweeney dished on the highly-anticipated upcoming third and final season of Euphoria this week.
The 27-year-old actress, set to appear alongside Julianne Moore in AppleTV+’s Echo Valley, portrays the captivating and deceitful Cassie in the high school drama directed by Sam Levinson.
In an interview with Empire magazine, the Anything But You star expressed her affection for the character, saying, ‘I have such a spot in my heart for Cassie, and I hold her really close and dear.’
She explained further, ‘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. It’s so much fun to play a character that is as crazy as she is.’
Ans Sweeney said that in the next chapter of the show, Cassie will get ‘crazier.’

She said about working with the show’s creator and director, ‘Sam 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.’
In mid May Zendaya was spotted on the California set of the HBO series, slipping back into her troubled character Rue.
The 28-year-old actress appeared distressed for the cameras as she exited a convenience store in LA’s South Gate.
It came after her co-stars Sydney and Alexa Demie and were spotted filming a scene together in late April.
Earlier this year it was announced that Sharon Stone was cast in season three.
She joined a notable group of A-listers previously added to the show, including Spanish singer Rosalía, Super Bowl winner Marshawn Lynch, and A Different World star Kadeem Hardison.
The prior two seasons of the HBO series from A24 starred Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi, the late Angus Cloud, Barbie Ferreira and Dominic Fike.
Last fall Zendaya confirmed that the final season will see a time jump that ages the characters.

She said on Entertainment Weekly’s The Awardist podcast, ‘It’s important because there’s only so much high school drama you can deal with.’
‘I don’t actually know much about what is happening,’ she admitted, despite her role as an executive producer. ‘I don’t quite know exactly what the season is going to look like, but I do know that the time jump is happening.’
The actress, who plays queer teenager Rue, a high schooler who struggles with drug addiction, sounded as excited as fans to learn what’s in store for the young adults.
‘It will be fascinating to see and understand these characters outside of the context of high school and how all the stuff that we saw when they were kids and they were in high school affects the adulthood they have and who they become in a much bigger world.’
‘I’ll be interested to see what happens too,’ she stated.
