Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney Reveals Season 3 Is Even More Unhinged
During a recent interview, Sweeney promised that Euphoria Season 3 will be crazier than previous installments, teasing another chaotic season for her character. In the Season 2 finale, Cassie was dumped by Jacob Elordi's Nate, after her sister Lexi made them characters in her play.
'I have such a spot in my heart for Cassie, and I hold her really close and dear. She is crazy. She makes so many mistakes,' Sweeney shared. 'She's flawed on so many levels, but she does it all from a place of love. It could be a sad version of love, as well. It's so much fun to play a character that is as crazy as she is. Sam [Levinson] is such a brilliant filmmaker to work with, because I'll read something, then I'll call him, and I'm like, 'Let's go crazier.' And he's like, 'I'm all in.' And this season is unhinged.'
Euphoria is created and written by Levinson, who is also executive producing with Zendaya and Drake. It is based on an Israeli miniseries of the same name. The series follows a group of high school students as they struggle to move through the worlds of drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love, and friendship. Season 3 will feature the return of Zendaya as Rue, Hunter Schafer as Jules, Jacob Elordi as Nate, Alexa Demie as Maddy, Maude Apatow as Lexi, Dominic Fike as Elliot, Eric Dane as Cal, Colman Domingo as Ali, Martha Kelly as Laurie, and Chloe Cherry as Faye.
The next installment is expected to open with a major time jump, which brings the main characters out of the show's original high school setting. The coming-of-age drama is slated to make its return sometime in 2026. Season 3 will also include new cast members Sharon Stone, Rosalia, Marshawn Lynch, Kadeem Hardison, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Toby Wallace, Priscilla Delgado, James Landry Hébert, and Anna Van Patten.

'And Just Like That': Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis unpack that heartbreaking scene
Spoiler alert! The following story contains major details about Episode 6 of 'Sex and the City' sequel series 'And Just Like That…' (now streaming on HBO Max, new episodes Thursdays). NEW YORK — Somewhere between the antacid tablets and protein shakes, Charlotte York hit her breaking point. In Season 3's sixth episode of 'And Just Like That…,' released July 3, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) spots her best friend Charlotte (Kristin Davis) trying to go incognito in Walgreens, where she's shopping for Depends. Asked why she needs adult incontinence underwear, Charlotte tearfully reveals that they're for her husband, Harry (Evan Handler), who has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer but doesn't want anyone to know. 'Oh, honey, honey. Here, sweetie, look at me,' Carrie says, grabbing Charlotte's hand. 'You tell me anything, alright? Any thought, big or small. I will not tell a soul. I promise, I'm your vault.' 'They found it early, but I can't stop thinking that he's going to die,' Charlotte admits, her voice cracking as she breaks out in sobs. 'That's why I've been such a mess.' 'And Just Like That': Samantha returns with offscreen 'cameo' in Season 3 The emotional episode ends with Carrie holding Charlotte as she bawls in her arms. It's a tender, unvarnished moment that harks back to the very best of HBO's 'Sex and the City,' when Carrie and Charlotte supported their pal, Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), through breast cancer, and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) helped her on-and-off-again beau, Steve (David Eigenberg), through testicular cancer. 'I was really worried about that scene,' says Davis, who tested positive for COVID the morning she was supposed to shoot it. The poignant exchange was postponed for several months, until the very end of filming, meaning 'I had to go back emotionally to where I had been on that day.' For any actor, 'that's always hard when you know you have a scene like that and it keeps getting pushed,' Parker says. 'What you really want to do is shoot the scene and be done with it, when you have something that is going to require you to feel so vulnerable and cry. But she did a beautiful job.' Michael Patrick King, who created 'And Just Like That…,' says that the costars' real-life friendship helped bring gravity to 'a very scary moment' for Charlotte. 'Because Kristin and Sarah Jessica have worked together for so long, the trust is there,' King says. 'In that scene, Kristin really just lets go, and Sarah Jessica is there holding her.' As the season goes on, Charlotte's storyline unfolds 'in really funny and unexpected ways,' Davis teases. 'Carrie throws Charlotte a birthday party to cheer her up and everything unravels. Charlotte has also been holding in so much, trying to keep everything going while she takes care of Harry. She hasn't really been taking care of herself, so she ends up having some health issues that end in a comedic way, thank God.' Elsewhere in the episode, Charlotte's new friend, Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker), unexpectedly loses her dad (Billy Dee Williams) to a stroke. In the days to follow, Lisa clashes with her thespian stepmom (Jenifer Lewis) about the over-the-top funeral arrangements. 'I grew up (watching) Billy Dee Williams, so I was very sad in real life that we wouldn't do any more work together in this series,' Parker says. Lewis, meanwhile, is 'a blazing talent. God didn't give me a voice, but when I'm with Jenifer Lewis, she lets you believe you can sing. So we'd have dance breaks (on set) – she's just iconic and larger than life.'

‘And Just Like That...' seems determined to insult women over 50. And under 50
I didn't think my level of loathing for the Max sequel to HBO's 'Sex and the City' could get any higher, and just like that, along came Season 3. You see what I did there? Like every single person who has written about 'And Just Like That...,' I have used the title in a naked and half-assed attempt to be clever. Which honestly could also be the title of the series. We're midway through the third — and one can only hope final — season, and I am hoarse from screaming at watching these beloved characters behave as if they had done some sort of 'Freaky Friday' switch with 13-year-olds. Which is actually an insult to most 13-year-olds. In the course of the barely-recognizable-as-human events that make up this latest episode, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) prolonged her inexplicable bout of homelessness by acting shocked — shocked! — that Seema (Sarita Choudhury), having found her a dream house, would expect her to make a bid over asking price; Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker) dealt with the grief over her father's death by whining about the amazing send-off orchestrated by his friend Lucille (Jenifer Lewis) despite it including a performance by … Jenifer Lewis; and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) continued to behave as if it were perfectly normal for her husband Harry (Evan Handler) to keep his prostate cancer diagnosis secret from everyone including their children, who would no doubt handle it better than Charlotte. All of which paled in comparison to the latest installment in the emotional horror show that is the second-time-around courtship of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett), which has been under threat since it was revealed in Season 2 that Aidan's 15-year-old son Wyatt (Logan Souza) has some issues, including a recent ADHD diagnosis. Events lead Aidan to impulsively announce that he and Carrie will have to put their relationship on hold until Wyatt turns 20 (when, as everyone knows, parental responsibilities officially end). Not surprisingly, this plan does not work out, and in this episode, Aidan celebrates the fact that Wyatt is attending a week-long wilderness camp (um, what?) by showing up at Carrie's apartment, where he immediately breaks a window by throwing a pebble at it. You know, like he used to in the old days before Carrie had a jillion-dollar apartment with 19th century windows that, as she says, 'survived the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Draft Riots of '63' (memo to Carrie — New York saw no action in the Mexican War). After going to obsessive lengths to replace the glass, Aidan then confesses that he and his ex Kathy (Rosemarie DeWitt) had to force Wyatt onto the plane (how they managed to be at the gate as unticketed passengers to do this remains a mystery), an event so upsetting that Aidan and Kathy were forced to comfort each other with sex. For one brief and shining moment, I waited for Carrie to call time of death on one of the unhealthiest relationships this particular universe has seen (and that's saying something). Instead, and impossibly, she said she understood. Apparently love means ignoring every sign God could think to send you. Not only did Aidan have sex with his ex, he forced his unmedicated, unsupervised 15-year-old with ADHD onto a plane headed to the Grand Tetons. (Whether the poor kid made it to camp or is currently having a meltdown in the Jackson Hole airport is never mentioned.) But then Carrie, and the series, has continued to treat Wyatt's condition, and his father's obvious irritated denial of its realities, as simply a logistical obstacle in her fairy tale love story. This would barely make sense if Carrie were still in her 30s, and it makes absolutely none for a woman of her age. I begrudge no one the desire to reboot a groundbreaking series, and two years ago, the prospect of seeing these iconic 30-somethings as mid-to-late 50-somethings was certainly appealing to one who shares their mature demographic. If only Michael Patrick King, the force behind 'And Just Like That...,' allowed any of them to have matured. I don't mean physically — stars Parker, Nixon, Davis and Kim Cattrall (briefly glimpsed at the end of Season 2) — are fit and lovely and obviously older. I mean emotionally, spiritually and psychologically. 'And Just Like That...' has had two and a half seasons to make these women seem like actual people who might exist, if not in real life, then at least the 'Sex and the City' universe (remember the opening credits, when Carrie gets splashed by a bus? Hyperrealism compared to the eat-off-the-sidewalks vision of 'And Just Like That...'s' New York.) Instead, the series seems determined to prove that age is just a number by forcing its leads, now including Choudhury and Parker, to act as if 50 is the new (and very stupid) 30. I get that Miranda is coming to grips with her newly discovered queerness, but surely a successful, Harvard-educated lawyer who has survived a divorce and raised a teenage son would have a bit more confidence and self-awareness in love, real estate and basic guest etiquette — after moving in briefly with Carrie, she eats the last yogurt! Charlotte has always been an original Disney princess, all wide eyes and faith in the restorative nature of small animals and florals, but at 55, her high-strung reaction to her husband's prostate cancer (caught early, easily treatable) is helpful to no one. And don't get me about her little foot-stamping approach to motherhood or how she speaks about her dog. As for Carrie, well, it's one thing to be a relentlessly hopeful romantic addicted to tulle, stilettos and problematic men in your 30s, but Carrie's pushing 60 now, so when she agreed, with no demur, to Aidan's absurd five-year plan, I wondered if she had simply gone mad. Watching as she subsequently rattled around her huge, empty (if incredibly luxe) apartment wearing a see-through, Ophelia-like dress stuffed with roses or traipsed through Central Park wearing a hat the size of a hot-air balloon only exacerbated my fears. Dressing like Marie Antoinette to attend a luncheon at Tiffany's isn't sassy fashion sense — it's a cry for help. She most certainly needs help. The reunion with Aidan seemed too good to be true, and thus it is proving to be. Even a 30-something Carrie would have known that being in a relationship with a father means being in a relationship with his children. But the notion that she must be kept separate from Wyatt is not just unsustainable — it's insulting. What, she's never experienced, met or even read about children with ADHD or post-divorce trauma? Or is she such a delicate flower that she can't handle being around a teenager with anger management issues? She lives in New York, for heaven's sake, the city that invented anger management issues. Frankly, Aidan's behavior is far more concerning than Wyatt's, a flag so big and red that Carrie could make a stunning sheath dress out of it. Which she appears to be doing, instead of, you know, acting like the grown-ass rich widow she is and calling Aidan out on his bull. 'And Just Like That...' purports to celebrate the mid-life do-over, just as it purports to show that women in their 50s are just as vibrant, complicated and fun as women in their 30s. Both are admirable goals, neither of which the series achieves. Even with its title — 'And Just Like That...' — this series seems determined to erase everything that might have made the older versions of these characters interesting and resonant. Like the ability to buy a house or say the word 'cancer' or get out of an unhealthy romantic relationship before it spits right in your eye.

10 TV Characters Who'd Be TikTok Influencers In 2025
1. Moira Rose (Schitt's Creek) Haul of vintage wigs, overly dramatic lip syncs, and cryptic "life advice." Her bio? "Former soap opera star. Now educating the masses. Caw, caw!" 2. Rue Bennett (Euphoria) No thirst traps. No trends. Just POV videos set to obscure music and cryptic captions like "it's all a simulation." 2M followers. No explanation. 3. Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl) Soft-launching Chuck every other week and posts sponsored by high-end skincare brands. She definitely writes long captions like it's Tumblr in 2010. 4. Michael Scott (The Office) Would go viral weekly for saying completely unhinged things at work. Accidentally creates a meme without realizing it. 5. Sydney Adamu (The Bear) Her TikToks would be stressful, intense, and weirdly inspiring. "Yes, chef," but make it girlboss. 6. Steve Harrington (Stranger Things) He thinks he's posting for the boys but is unintentionally a thirst trap king. The comments are feral. 7. Penelope Featherington (Bridgerton) Secret soft-launches, gossip threads, bookish thirst traps. Starts with regency-core vibes, ends up being your favorite messy narrator. 9. Nate Jacobs (Euphoria) Posts shirtless videos with moody lighting and Nicki Minaj audio. The comments are unwell. 10. Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds) Nerdy facts, introvert vibes, accidental thirst traps. "Here's a fact you didn't ask for" turns into a fan account war in the comments. Quiet king of TikTok. Are there any other TV characters you could see ruling our TikTok screens? Let me know in the comments!
