HBO basked in the success of Euphoria along with the talented cast. Sydney Sweeney emerged to be among the most popular of the lot, along with Zendaya and Alexa Demie. Right after she completed Euphoria, Sweeney has not missed a beat in choosing other exorbitant projects. Her choice of bringing to light the life of Reality Winner and how the intelligence ultimately caught up with her impressed the masses. Through a deal by UTA Independent Film Group and WME Independent, HBO has acquired the broadcasting right for this actress’ docufilm as reported by Variety.

Tina Satter, who also contributed to the screenplay written by James Paul Dallas, directed the movie. After stumbling upon the interrogation transcript, Satter saw in it the potential to become a thriller movie. And she was right in this because Reality has proved to be exceedingly brilliant, especially for a docufilm. The movie was produced by Seaview and 2 SQ FT and HBO is yet to set a release date for it.

Moreover, given how Sydney Sweeney is at the helm of affairs, it is best suited for the platform.
