Sydney Sweeney Wraps Filming on Euphoria Season 3, Prepares for Kim Novak Biopic

Sydney Sweeney has officially completed filming for the highly anticipated third season of HBO's "Euphoria," which is set to premiere in early 2026. Speaking at the AFI Fest premiere of her new drama "Christy," Sweeney expressed her excitement about returning to the series after a three-year hiatus, describing the experience as a homecoming due to the familiar crew.

While HBO has indicated that Season 3 may be the final installment of "Euphoria," Sweeney remained tight-lipped about the possibility of a fourth season. When asked directly, she responded, "I cannot confirm any information." This ambiguity follows years of speculation regarding the show's future, especially given that it will have been four years since the conclusion of Season 2 by the time Season 3 airs. Francesca Orsi, HBO's head of drama, has suggested that discussions about the series' end have taken place, but she emphasized that nothing is finalized.

Co-star Jacob Elordi, who plays Nate Jacobs, shared his enthusiasm for the new season, describing it as "incredibly liberating" and praising series creator Sam Levinson for crafting a "clever and cinematic" narrative. Elordi noted that the cast members work on separate storylines, allowing them to experience the show as fans when it airs. Sweeney echoed this sentiment, admitting she only knows bits and pieces of the plot related to her character, Cassie Howard.

Sweeney plans to meet Novak in preparation for the role and will work with movement and dialect coaches to enhance her portrayal.
