Euphoria predicted Sydney Sweeney’s horror movie future

Euphoria fans unknowingly predicted years ago that Sydney Sweeney, who played Cassie on the teen drama, would move into the horror genre.

Immaculate (as examined inour review), is an admirable attempt at producing a long-standing passion project for Sweeney. But before she was tackling nuns, she played Cassie inEuphoria. With two seasons in the bag, the second gave her plenty of bite as Cassie found herself growing increasingly out of control.

As such, Euphoria fans actually predicted where her career would wind up, and unknowingly connected her to the horror genre before they even knew she’d produce Immaculate.

During Season 2 of Euphoria, Sweeney’s character Cassie took a turn for the ugly. After getting into an ill-advised relationship with Nate Jacobs, Cassie fell into a pit of obsession and despair. Falling foul to Nate’s false charms, she quickly lost the plot and went a little crazy, wanting to keep her claws in him by any means.

As such, fans were quick to turn Cassie into a meme throughout the season, and even rallied for Sydney Sweeney to make a horror movie based on her creepy performance throughout.

What they didn’t know was that Sweeney was already working hard behind the scenes to get Immaculate off the ground. After auditioning for the role of Sister Cecilia back when she was 16 years old, she was shocked to discover that years later, the movie had never been made. Eventually, she decided to produce it herself. Now, on March 22, Immaculate will finally be released with Sweeney in the leading role.

But Euphoria fans had nothing to do with it, really. Plans were in motion long before the memes came, as the actor says herself.
