Sydney Sweeney is reportedly excited to return to the world of Euphoria season 3. The Anyone But You actress plays Cassie Howard in the popular HBO drama, and she recently shared her excitement about coming back despite not knowing much about the character's storyline.

In an interview with People magazine, Sweeney expressed her enthusiasm about playing Cassie again, saying:

"She is definitely one of the most special characters for me, and I love my Euphoria family, so I look forward to it."

She mentioned that she’s not sure what’s coming up for the next season, but she’s looking forward to helping play out the darker, crazier side of Cassie’s character.

"I love crazy Cassie, so the crazier, the better for me."

Naturally, everyone’s got high hopes for Euphoria season 3, especially since the show is known for its bold stories and emotions. Fans are excited about what’s next for Cassie, especially after her dramatic confrontation with Maddy in season 2. Filming starts in January 2025, according to Variety.

With season 3 looming, Sydney Sweeney's recent comments raise many questions in everyone's minds about what Cassie Howard will be up to. Cassie's emotional ups and downs, and impulsive choices, have made her one of the most talked-about characters in the show.

Things got heated for her in season 2 when she interrupted her sister Lexi's play, which sparked the viral but intense fight with Maddy. Sweeney has teased that Cassie may be even more chaotic in season 3. This teaser goes hand in hand with what happens to Cassie's character. She's struggled with feelings of inadequacy and needing validation.

That was quite evident in season 2, where her choices left viewers in shock and feeling sympathetic as they watched her go through heartbreak and self-destruction. If Sweeney's excitement is anything to go by, Euphoria season 3 might take Cassie to some emotional places that might catch even the biggest fans off guard.

One of the most interesting things related to Euphoria season 3 is that there will be a time jump. Many cast members have said this in interviews, including Sydney Sweeney and Hunter Schafer. A development like this in the timeline could change the plot for Cassie in the coming episodes.

“It’s a new process for me...I’m kind of just learning as I go and being open for whatever’s to come,” she said.

This has got people talking about how Cassie's life might have shifted during the time jump and what new things we might see. The leap could change the relationships and power plays in the show, especially for Cassie, who's always been influenced by those around her. It'll be interesting to see if she comes out stronger and more in tune with herself or if she continues her tumultuous arc.

With Sweeney excited to explore Cassie's wild side, it's obvious that the character will still play a big role in the show’s look at teenage struggles, identity, and the impact of our decisions. As Euphoria returns, fans can only guess what’s in store for Cassie Howard. But one thing’s sure: she is all in for whatever lies ahead.


Fans can stream the first two seasons on HBO Max.
