Cassie is seen in one shot posing for sultry photos, taken by none other than Alexa Demie’s character Maddy, who was her former best friend and Nate’s ex-girlfriend in high school.
“Poke the a** up,” Maddy says as Cassie poses by the side of a pool.

A bedroom conversation in the new trailer shows Cassie talking to Nate about how Maddy has been helping her make adult content.
“I’m going to tell you something that might make you angry,” she says. “Maddy’s been helping me.”
“My Maddy?” Nate asks.
“She was my best friend,” Cassie says, to which Nate responds, asking, “What do you think she wants?”

Showrunner Sam Levinson spoke about Cassie’s jump from season 2 to season 3, and how she’s still living in the suburbs with Nate.
“She’s very addicted to social media and envious of what appears to be the big lives that all of her high school classmates are living at this point in time,” he told Variety in December.

“I thought she had great genes?” one said.
“Where are the great genes she was talking about??” echoed another.

Sweeney, who recently launched a lingerie brand called Syrn, said she was never confident about her body until she stepped into the shoes of Cassie for Euphoria.
“I grew up with b**bs. I was wearing a 32DD in sixth grade, and I never felt confident,” she told Us Weekly. “I never had anything I felt good in, and I just wanted to hide.”
“It wasn’t until [I played] Cassie in Euphoria that I started realizing it’s actually powerful to be confident; our bodies are incredible,” she continued. “We should embrace [them] and feel really good in our skin.”
When the actress spoke about the upcoming Euphoria season, she said wrapping up the shoot felt like a “bittersweet moment.”

“I’m kind of terrified for how emotional it’s gonna be. It’s been such a journey,” she said on the red carpet during Variety’s 2025 Power of Women in October.
“It’s been my entire twenties,” she added. “They’ve been my family and friends for so long. I’ve been forever grateful for all of them.”
“I mean the words ‘hot mess’ is just cassie in a nutshell,” read one comment online

We get it - Binitha is in love with Sydney Sweeney, but has to hate on her for some dumb reason. I don’t understand why the BP audience had to be subjected to this “writer’s” feelings.
