The official trailer for Euphoria season three has been released, revealing that Sydney Sweeney's character, Cassie Howard, has become an OnlyFans model. In the new season, Cassie streams and sells semi-nude pictures of herself online to make money. She is also engaged to Nate Jacobs, played by Jacob Elordi, who comments in the trailer: 'I work all day. And my bride-to-be is spread-eagled on the internet.'
Cassie's storyline continues to be controversial, as she spent much of the previous season sneaking around with Nate, the ex-boyfriend of her best friend Maddy (Alexa Demie). Season two featured numerous sex scenes between Sweeney and Elordi, which sparked concerns among some fans about the actress's frequent explicit nudity.
Sweeney herself has previously spoken out about 'unnecessary' nakedness in the show, telling The Independent in 2022 that she would sometimes tell creator Sam Levinson when she didn't think a nude scene was needed. 'I've never felt like Sam has pushed it on me or was trying to get a nude scene into an HBO show,' she said.
Off-screen, Sweeney has become a divisive figure due to her conservative politics. She has been outed as a registered Republican and attended a Make America Great Again-themed birthday party. She also dated controversial music executive Scooter Braun and appeared in an American Eagle ad accused of being pro-eugenics.
Euphoria season three includes a time jump, with all characters having graduated from high school. The cast also features Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow, along with new additions such as Rosalía, Danielle Deadwyler, Natasha Lyonne, and Eli Roth.
