Sydney Sweeney is “very excited” to “jump back into” ‘Euphoria’
Fans of the Emmy-winning HBO drama Euphoria are excited to know the show gets back into production in January — and so is co-star Sydney Sweeney.
“I’m very excited to jump back into Cassie,” she tells People. “She is definitely one of the most special characters for me and I love my Euphoria family, so I look forward to it.”
The Anyone But You star and producer says she doesn’t know what to expect from season 3, but hopes her character takes a dark turn. “I love crazy Cassie, so the crazier, the better for me,” she expresses.
As reported, the rest of the show’s cast, including Zendaya, Colman Domingo, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie and Maude Apatow, are returning for the new season.
Max’s forthcoming small-screen spin-off of the hit Dune movie franchise will be invading New York Comic Con in October.
The streamer has announced the interactive Dune: Prophecy Experience will be unveiled at the annual event on Oct. 17 and run through Oct. 20.
The attraction “will transport participants to the mysterious world of Wallach IX, where The Voice will command them to undergo a series of trials reflecting the Sisterhood’s rigorous training methods.”
The ad copy teases, “Those who heed the commands of the Sisterhood and successfully complete the challenges will be rewarded with exclusive NYCC swag.”
On that same day, at the Empire Stage at the convention center, there will be a panel discussion and the debut of a new trailer to the anticipated series. Taking part will be cast members Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea and Jessica Barden, as well as showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker, and executive producer Jordan Goldberg.
As reported, the series takes place 10,000 years before the ascension of Timothée Chalamet‘s Paul Atreides.
The series will serve as the origin story of the powerful sect known as the Bene Gesserit “during one of the most turbulent and pivotal turning points in the Dune universe’s history.”
Dune: Prophecy debuts on Max in November.
Pia Barlow, HBO and Max’s executive vice president of originals marketing, enthused, “By offering interactive experiences, panels, and special screenings, we’re bringing the epic story of the Sisterhood to life, allowing fans to connect with the series in a whole new way before its premiere this November.”
She adds, “We can’t wait for fans to dive into the world of Dune: Prophecy.”

While it’s already well documented that Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t too clear on the details of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — after all, she famously didn’t know which movies she was in — her Iron Man co-star Robert Downey Jr.‘s new role really threw her for a loop.
When RDJ revealed over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con that he was re-joining the MCU by playing villain Dr. Doom in two forthcoming movies, Gwyneth hit the pause button.
To RDJ’s Instagram photo with his new mask, Paltrow asked, “I don’t get it, are you a baddie now?” Her confusion earned more than 14,000 likes.
Paltrow played Pepper Potts, the assistant-turned-eventual wife of Downey’s Tony Stark, who sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.
For the record, some of Downey’s other Avengers colleagues were more supportive.
As reported, Mark Ruffalo, who plays Bruce Banner/The Hulk, noted “Hey, Brat: Green suits you.” Downey’s Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo — who are also returning for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars — insisted “green is your color.”
