Cassie Howard’s story has concluded. But Sydney Sweeney isn’t quite ready to let her go.
Sweeney, already an Emmy nominee for the second season of “Euphoria” in 2022, dove even deeper into the character for the recent third and final season, and she tells Variety that she still thinks about what else Cassie might get up to. Over the course of eight episodes, Cassie, whom we’d last seen as a painfully insecure high-schooler, experienced endless milestones of grown-up life — getting married to boyfriend Nate (Jacob Elordi), facing down her household’s bankruptcy and working as an OnlyFans model to pay the bills (and Nate’s debts). Throughout, the show’s trademark surreality and sense of play allowed Sweeney to act out massive emotional swings and to edge into the absurd, as in a sequence where Cassie strides through Los Angeles, towering over buildings and dominating the men below.
