Euphoria Star Sydney Sweeney Teases One NSFW Season 3 Plot Twist Fans Won’t See Coming
Euphoria is back in production, and Sydney Sweeney is teasing a decidedly NSFW moment in Season 3 — a racy breadcrumb for fans starved by the HBO hit’s four-year hiatus.
Euphoria is finally back in front of cameras, and Sydney Sweeney just gave fans the most Sydney Sweeney teaser imaginable. It is not a spoiler, it is not subtle, and yes, it is NSFW. After a four-year wait between seasons, I will take any breadcrumb.
What she actually said
"Dildos. Hold on to those dildos."
That was Sweeney on the Variety Power of Women red carpet, talking to E! News. She laughed off any follow-ups about whether tears are involved and basically shrugged it off with a 'it is Cassie, what did you expect?' vibe. Translation: do not look to this tease for plot, but take it as a tone check. Euphoria is not about to get prudish in Season 3.
Where production stands
Sweeney says she is in her final week of filming on Season 3, which is hitting her harder than she expected. She pointed out she shot the pilot at 20 and Season 1 at 21, so this has been a multi-year chunk of her life with the same crew and cast — a long run with the same team that you do not always get in this business. She fully expects to be a mess when she wraps.
When we are getting it
HBO is aiming to air Euphoria Season 3 in 2026. No exact date yet.
Who is in, who is out
- Returning: Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow
- Not returning: Nika King, Storm Reid, Algee Smith
- New additions: Priscilla Delgado, Darrell Britt-Gibson, James Landry Hébert, Anna Van Patten
So, where does that leave us? The show is still shooting, the cast is shifting a bit, and the release window is a ways off. But if Sweeney is any indication, Season 3 is sticking with the series’ particular mix of messy, horny, and emotionally catastrophic. Manage your expectations accordingly — and apparently your props.
