Sydney Sweeney is one of those few stars who is as active in movies as she is on TV. The actress began her career by doing short cameos in mega television shows like Grey’s Anatomy and gradually became a part of television’s biggest show ever, Euphoria. Sweeney gained enormous popularity by playing the role of Cassie Howard on the show. She has a special connection with the show and recently revealed something special about it.

Euphoria is a show with strong female characters. The female brigade of the show is its unique identity and power. Sweeney feels lucky to be a part of it as she, on that show, works with people of her age group. Before Euphoria, she has been a part of The Handmaid’s Tale where she was one of the youngest members. On the other hand, in Everything Sucks, she was older than many. But in Euphoria she is surrounded by women of her own age.

When Sweeney appeared on the Awards Chatter podcast, the host questioned her about her experience on the show. In reply to that, Sweeney said, “It felt like I was in high school!” One of the reasons behind it was the cast of almost equivalent age groups. Another reason she felt like that was the storyline of the show.

Euphoria revolved around the stories of a bunch of teenagers in high school. A raw and intense drama series exploring the lives of troubled teenagers navigating love, drugs, and identity crises.

Speaking about the cast of Euphoria, Sweeney called everybody “incredible.” The actress is right about it because the off-screen chemistry plays a key role in setting the on-screen chemistry of the actors. While the Spokane native is close to everybody on the show, there is one person she feels the closest to. It is none other than the actress who plays her on-screen sister Lexi aka Maude Apatow. Sweeney said that she is pretty close to Apatow and feels like the sister she never had.

Sweeney and Maude are so close that while she was in New York, the 25-year-old went to support Apatow on her stage debut. However, what the fans are looking forward to is the twists and turns that happen in the show’s third season.
