Sydney Sweeney teases season three of Euphoria is 'unhinged'
Sydney Sweeney has teased that season three of 'Euphoria' is "unhinged" for her character Cassie.
The 27-year-old actress has teased that her "flawed" alter ego goes "crazier" in the upcoming instalment of the hit HBO teen drama.
She told Empire magazine: '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. 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.'
The second season saw Cassie get romantically involved with Maddie's (Alexa Demie) abusive ex-boyfriend Nate (Jacob Elordi).
The eight-episode season will feature a time jump taking the lead characters out of high school and it is due to premiere in 2026, four years after the second season aired.
Sydney, Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, and Colman Domingo will all be returning, but Algee Smith and Nika King won't be, while Dominic Fike's return has yet to be confirmed.
New series regulars will include Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Toby Wallace, while a number of guest stars have also been lined up including Sharon Stone, Rosalía, Marshawn Lynch, and Kadeem Hardison.
The cast and showrunner Sam Levinson kicked off shooting season three in Los Angeles earlier this year after a long delay.
The series is expected to mark the end of the drama.
Zendaya - who leads the cast as Rue Bennett - recently admitted she finds filming 'Euphoria' "emotionally and physically draining".
Speaking to Nicole Kidman for Variety's Actors on Actors series, she said: "You get so used to a character. It feels like a skin that you just slip on. Rue just falls into me. I'm not thinking about it so much. It's just like, 'Oh, she's here now.'
The 'Babygirl' star then asked: "Do you stagger out of that experience?"
Zendaya replied: "Yes and no. While it was emotionally and physically draining, it was so rewarding. I was so proud of it. It connected with people...
"We're supposed to do another season. I've only done two, but it feels like five. One season of 'Euphoria' is like, 'Phew!'...
"I still have my Rue scars."

Chair extraordinaire Anne Ward trades at a discount
In the final season of HBO's Succession, (spoiler warning) Waystar Royco chief Logan Roy dies. As the markets learn of his death, the Roy siblings look at a phone, watching the company's share price crater. Son Roman Roy blithely remarks 'that's Dad', a neat encapsulation of what an individual can do to a share price. On Monday morning, Articore (the ecommerce group behind Redbubble) announced chair Anne Ward had resigned. This was 18 hours after this column flagged a putsch by former CEO Richard Cawsey against Ward and the board. In the three trading days since, Articore's share price has surged 35 per cent. That's Anne!

A-ha's Harket diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
Morten Harket, the lead singer of Norwegian band A-ha, whose Take On Me track remains one of the most popular songs from the 1980s, says he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In a statement on the band's website, and confirmed by record label Sony Music, Harket, 65, said he had undergone several rounds of brain surgery and that he was managing the symptoms of the disease. Parkinson's causes deterioration in the brain's nervous system, leading to tremors and other symptoms that can become progressively worse over time. The disease can be treated with surgery and medication but there is no cure. Harket said he last year underwent neurological procedures to have electrodes implanted inside his brain and that this had reduced the symptoms. Known for the wide range of his voice, Harket said he did not know if he would be able to perform again. "I've got no problem accepting the diagnosis," he said, adding that it was difficult to balance medication and managing side effects of the treatment. "I'm trying the best I can to prevent my entire system from going into decline," Harket said. Formed in 1982 by Harket and his friends Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and Magne Furuholmen, A-ha had a global breakthrough in 1985 with their debut album Hunting High and Low which yielded several hits such as Take On Me and The Sun Always Shines on TV. Take On Me was recently featured in the second season of HBO's hit series The Last of Us when the main character Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey, performed an acoustic version of the song.
