Sydney Sweeney Opens Up About Career Choices Amid *Euphoria* Delays

Sydney Sweeney, the talented actress known for her captivating role as Cassandra "Cassie" Howard in HBO's critically acclaimed series *Euphoria*, recently opened up about the impact of the show's delays on her career choices. With the third season lingering in limbo, Sweeney admitted that she had to turn down several enticing projects as she anticipated returning to her role.

The Background of *Euphoria*

Since its debut in June 2019, *Euphoria* has garnered a massive following and critical acclaim, leading to its second season premiere in January 2022. While fans eagerly awaited more of the gripping storytelling, they were met with frustrating delays for Season 3. Those delays can be attributed to various factors, including the widespread Hollywood strikes in 2023 and the tragic losses of beloved cast member Angus Cloud and executive producer Kevin Turen.

Production Updates

Additionally, there have been rumors swirling about potential script issues and a busy roster of actors, casting doubt on when—or if—the show would return. However, in a glimmer of hope, HBO and Max executive Casey Bloys confirmed that production is set to kick off in January 2025.

Sweeney's Career Pivot

In an interview with *Vanity Fair*, Sydney Sweeney candidly remarked on the challenges posed by the ongoing delays. "There were definitely a few projects that I had to pass on because I was supposed to be going back to Euphoria," she explained. Yet, the actress, who has recently stepped into the role of a producer, took the opportunity to pivot her focus. "I realized this is not happening, so I put in full gear to make *Anyone But You*," Sweeney revealed, highlighting her proactive approach in a challenging situation.

Continued Success Beyond *Euphoria*

Beyond *Euphoria*, Sweeney's career continues to flourish. She recently appeared in the highly anticipated *Anyone But You*, alongside notable projects like *Madame Web*, where she portrayed Julia Cornwall, and the upcoming film *Immaculate*, in which she plays Cecilia. Fans can also look forward to seeing her in Ron Howard’s *Eden*, which made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023.
