Sydney Sweeney joined Euphoria co-stars Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, and Jacob Elordi for a fun night out, reportedly in Santa Monica, over the Friendship Day weekend. The reunion of the popular stars comes amid ongoing discourse around Sweeney's contentious American Eagle campaign and anticipation for the HBO series' long-awaited third season. Sydney Sweeney sings with Euphoria stars in Karaoke bar Fans spotted the reunion of the Euphoria cast, including Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Hunter Schafer, and Jacob Elordi, at Santa Monica's Irish pub, The GasLite, on August 2. The fan-captured clips reveal Sweeney and her co-stars attended a karaoke night at the venue. The White Lotus star was also seen posing with fans during the night. Furthermore, social media posts also documented Elordi, Schafer, and Apatow engaged in conversation at a table at some point during the night. The reunion of the Euphoria stars has prompted a new wave of speculation regarding the release date of the show's Season 3. As per reports, the Max show might get a release date in 2026. The filming for the third season began in February 2025 and is currently underway in Los Angeles. (via Deadline) Meanwhile, not all the popular stars of Euphoria will return in the upcoming season. Reportedly, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Elordi, Apatow, Zendaya, and Sweeney will return as the regulars of the series. However, Barbie Ferreira, who portrayed Katherine 'Kat' Hernandez, will not return to the show. She cited creative differences as a reason for her departure. Storm Reid, who played the character of Gia Bennett, has also reportedly exited the show. In other news, Sweeney has been the center of recent media scrutiny after her American Eagle advertisement caused backlash. The wordplay of the campaign, 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' prompted discussions regarding the real meaning of the ad as the actress boasted, 'My genes are blue.' The company addressed the criticism regarding the campaign via social media. In an Instagram post, AE wrote, ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' Originally reported by Arpita Adhya on ComingSoon.

Euphoria 's Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and More Enjoy Cast Reunion
Originally appeared on E! Online This is a truly euphoric reunion. As Euphoria continues production for its long awaited third season, members of the cast, including Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow and Hunter Schafer, enjoyed a night out at The GasLite Karaoke bar in Los Angeles August 2. In videos and photos shared to X August 3, the HBO stars sang a rendition of "What's Up' by 4 Non Blondes and sat together in a booth chatting and enjoying drinks. The night out for the stars comes over three years after the second season of Sam Levinson series aired back in 2022. And while production for the third and final season finally began back in February, the actors have only given coy updates on what fans can expect from the upcoming episodes. As Sydney—whose American Eagle campaign recently made headlines—shared during a July appearance on The Tonight Show, 'Cassie is crazy.' And while that's not unusual for her character, the 27-year-old joked that this upcoming season it's 'even worse.' More from E!

Meanwhile, Hunter, for her part, has given insight into how the actors are feeling about the season behind the scenes, admitting that the thought of returning to set without Angus Cloud, who played Fezco before he tragically died in 2023, was difficult. 'Obviously I'm still coming to qualms about what's happened and losing people that we really loved and were a part of this family and everything,' Hunter said during an appearance on Call Her Daddy last year. 'If we do go back, that's going to be tough.' Still, the 26-year-old was able to envision a way of paying homage to the late actor with the upcoming season, adding, 'There's a world in which we can channel that into making it a beautiful Season 3—if it is supposed to happen.'

5 top new movies to stream this week on Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu and more (Aug. 5-11)
The start of another week means a fresh slate of movies arriving across the best streaming services. And the biggest fish in the pond, Netflix, is sitting the next seven days out, which gives Prime Video, HBO Max and more the chance to take the spotlight. However, the biggest newcomer this week can be found on premium video-on-demand platforms. Jurassic World Rebirth' is set to make the tyrannosaurus-sized leap from cinemas to streaming. And viewers looking for more blockbuster action will also want to check out 'The Pickup' on Prime Video. Plus, the summer of Pedro Pascal continues over on HBO Max. These are the top new movies you can stream this week, and if you're in the mood for a binge-watch, check out our guide to the top new TV shows this week. 'Jurassic World Rebirth' is the best 'Jurassic' movie since the original 'Jurassic World' back in 2015. OK, so when the competition is 'Fallen Kingdom' and 'Dominion,' which are, in my opinion, two of the worst tentpole blockbusters of the last decade, that's faint praise. But still, 'Rebith' represents a step in the right direction for a franchise that has so often struggled to recapture the enduring magic of the original 'Jurassic Park.' Even though I admit, it's fun but flawed. 'Rebirth' sees Scarlett Johansson play Zora Bennett, an ex-military special operative, who leads a team into one of the world's most dangerous places: A tropical island that served as the research facility for the original Jurassic Park. The mission requires them to secure three DNA samples from specific dinosaurs, but of course, the plan goes awry. Also starring Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, it packs plenty of dino-themed fun, but the series' insistence on creating new mutated creatures does feel ill-judged. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Buy or rent on Amazon from August 5 Prime Video is following up its summer streaming hit, 'Heads of State,' with another high-stakes action comedy in the form of 'The Pickup.' This one looks perfect for viewers craving a big-budget romp, but without having to shell out for a cinema ticket and overpriced theatre snacks. Its cast list is also nothing to sneeze at, with Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer and Eva Longoria headlining. I doubt it'll be a critical darling, but its future as a Prime Video No. 1 looks pretty secure. 'The Pickup' centers on two armored truck drivers (Murphy and Davidson) who face the shift from hell when criminals, led by a savvy mastermind (Palmer), ambush them and attempt to steal their vehicle's cargo. What follows is an action-packed shift as these mismatched co-workers are roped into a dangerous heist with highly personal stakes. The setup seems predictable, but the trailer promises plenty of explosions and lots of slapstick comedy gags. Watch on Prime Video from August 6 'The Monkey' is one of my biggest disappointments of 2025. It's not because it's bad, but rather considering the pedigree of director Oz Perkins (the man behind last year's 'Longlegs' and the overlooked 'The Blackcoat's Daughter'), I had high hopes for this horror, and ultimately, my expectations weren't quite met. Still, there's a lot of darkly comedic fun to be found in this blood-drenched movie, and now that it's arriving on Hulu, the barrier to entry has dropped considerably. 'The Monkey' offers a series of extremely gory kills, stitched together by an off-kilter story that's a little too goofy. The movie opens with twin brothers finding a strange and very creepy wind-up monkey doll. This odd toy is actually cursed and causes a string of horrific deaths. Fast forward 25 years, and the brothers (both played by Theo James) have become estranged. But when the monkey doll resurfaces, they're forced to reunite to end the curse for good. Watch on Hulu from August 7 Comedy-slashers are back in vogue with 'Heart Eyes' blending horror and humor back in February, and 'Clown in a Cornfield' bringing the same mixture to the summer months. It's certainly no 'Scream,' but it does play with the audience's expectations in some novel ways. However, the final reveal is seriously derivative of Edgar Wright's fantastic cop comedy 'Hot Fuzz,' which lessens its impact. Otherwise, it's a slasher with some grizzly kills and some very irritating characters, ones that make frustrating decisions too often. Based on the novel of the same name by Adam Cesare, it follows high school student Quinn (Katie Douglas) and her father (Aaron Abrams) as they relocate to the small town of Kettle Springs. The quaint town has fallen on hard times in the wake of a factory fire destroying its main industry, and things get even worse when a sinister clown named Frendo starts stalking Quinn and her new pals. Watch on Shudder from August 8 If my social media feeds are any indication, Pedro Pascal fatigue appears to be sweeping the internet. However, if you're not suffering from this strange phenomenon, you'll be pleased to see 'Freaky Tales' is heading to HBO Max this week after a limited theatrical release back in April. This anthology action-comedy is split into four interconnected chapters and focuses on real historical events that took place during 1987 in Oakland, California. These individual stories focus on an eclectic cast of characters from an NBA star to a corrupt cop, a female rap duo to a group of teenage punks. Also featuring Jay Ellis, Normani, Dominique Thorne, Ben Mendelsohn, Angus Cloud and a small role for America's surrogate father, Tom Hanks, 'Freaky Tales' was embraced by critics and audiences alike. It currently holds a particularly strong 89% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Watch on HBO Max from August 8
