Last Updated:
Sydney Sweeney says that season three of 'Euphoria' is "unhinged" for Cassie. Premiering in 2026, it features a time jump, new cast members, and Zendaya as Rue.
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."

Russell Simmons files $20m defamation lawsuit against HBO over sexual misconduct docu: Here's a look at his net worth
Russell Simmons has sued HBO for a whopping $20 million. He filed the defamation lawsuit after accusing filmmakers of a documentary detailing sexual misconduct allegations against him of 'suppressing evidence' that refuted the accusers' claims, the New York Post reported. Simmons has accused the creators of the 2020 film 'On the Record,' a documentary about women accusing the hip hop mogul of sexual misconduct, 'willfully' ignoring evidence 'including interviews, and over 20 witnesses' that were favorable to Simmons. The evidence would have reportedly 'refuted and rebutted the accusations falsely made against Plaintiff in the film' and was presented to the filmmakers, and top HBO and parent company Warner Bros. executives. However, according to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, June 4, the materials were ignored. The lawsuit added that the evidence includes 'nine consecutive credible and favorable CIA-grade polygraph results' that HBO 'disregarded.' The lawsuit also noted that the film's backers were 'requested' to review the evidence by unnamed 'luminaries in media and politics, including but not limited to, civil rights leaders and members of Congress, and other high-profile black leaders.' Simmons alleged that Oprah Winfrey, former executive producer of the film, left the project 'after publicly noting inconsistencies in the accusations.' He also alleged that several news outlets 'declined to publish defamatory content.' Winfrey, however, previously said that it was Simmons who pressured her to quit the project. She added that she still believed Drew Dixon, the woman at the center of the film. Simmons has a net worth of $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He is best known for co-founding Def Jam Recordings with Rick Rubin in 1984. Simmons later went on to sell his portion of Def Jam Recordings to Universal Music Group for $120 million. Simmons' successful career was marred by allegations of sexual assault, which surfaced in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Several women accused him of misconduct spanning over three decades.
