Sydney Sweeney wraps Euphoria season 3 filming, bittersweet tease

Sydney Sweeney said she is preparing to finish filming the third season of HBO's Euphoria this week, calling the prospect "really bittersweet" and teasing an explicit moment in the new episodes at a Power of Women ceremony in Los Angeles. The actress, who plays Cassie Howard, told reporters she had two days of shooting left and expects the final week to be highly emotional after spending much of her twenties on the series.

Sweeney gave a blunt, joking hint about the season's tone, saying, "Dildos. Hold on to those dildos." She added that tears are likely for her character, saying, "It's Cassie, what do you expect?" The comments follow months of guarded publicity about the next installment, which is scheduled to air in spring 2026 according to HBO leadership.

Production resumed earlier this year following a multiyear hiatus, and the upcoming season is expected to reunite much of the ensemble that helped make the show a cultural touchstone. Returning cast members set to appear include Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow, Hunter Schafer, and Alexa Demie. The season will also feature new additions reported to include Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Deadwyler, Eli Roth and Trisha Paytas.
