Sweeney expressed her excitement to play Cassie again in a recent interview, adding that she wants her character to be as “crazy” as possible.
“I’m very excited to jump back into Cassie. She is definitely one of the most special characters for me and I love my Euphoria family, so I look forward to it,” Sweeney told People. “I love crazy Cassie, so the crazier, the better for me,” she added.
However, when asked about what is in store for Cassie in Season 3, Sweeney revealed she had no information. “Honestly, I don’t know anything about it,” the Immaculate actress stated.
Based on the Israeli miniseries of the same name, Euphoria predominantly revolves around the lives of the students of East Highland High School and deals with sensitive topics such as abuse, addiction, mental health, and relationship violence.
Cassie is one of the main characters of the show. She struggles with rumors about her sexual history and initially begins dating the school’s football star, Chris McKay. After that relationship falls apart, she grows close to Nate Jacobs, the abusive former boyfriend of her best friend Maddy Perez. In the Season 2 finale, Cassie disrupts her sister Lexi’s play about her (Cassie) life. Maddy attacks her backstage and that leads to a brawl between the two. Afterward, Cassie reveals to Maddy that Nate has ended their relationship.
Euphoria premiered on HBO on June 16, 2019, with Season 2 airing from January 9, 2022, to February 27, 2022. Since then, Sweeney has established herself as one of the most bankable young stars of Hollywood, further solidified by the success of the 2023 romantic comedy Anyone But You.
