Euphoria: Sydney Sweeney Explains How Cassie’s Hot Tub Scene Was Filmed
Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney opens up about filming Cassie’s season 2 breakdown in a hot tub. Written and directed by series creator Sam Levinson, Euphoria season 2 highlighted how Rue (Zendaya) continued to struggle with addiction, even as it threatened to tear her life apart. The show also delved deeper into the parents in the teen drama, examing Cal (Eric Dane) as a supposed family man that has been dealing with internalized homophobia and gradually fraying at the edges. Mixed in with these heavy storylines, viewers also saw the relatively more lighthearted love triangle involving Cassie (Sweeney), Nate (Jacob Elordi), and Maddy (Alexa Demie).
At least for a time, Euphoria looked to Cassie’s newfound relationship with Nate for a bit of humor. This was perhaps most evident in Euphoria season 2, episode 4. Titled “You Who Cannot See, Think of Those Who Can,” the episode includes a scene where Cassie joins her best friend Maddy and Maddy’s ex-boyfriend, Nate, in a hot tub. Considering Cassie’s been secretly dating Nate, the atmosphere quickly becomes awkward. Burdened by her secret, Cassie ends up vomiting in the middle of an argument between Maddy and Nate. In a new interview, Sweeney recalls that filming the scene was pretty gross.
