Overview
- Sweeney said Thursday that a pole-dance sequence she filmed for Euphoria’s final season did not make the broadcast and left her disappointed.
- She says she took pole-dance classes and rehearsed the routine for a strip-club scene in which her character, Cassie, climbs onstage after drinking.
- Sweeney says creator Sam Levinson called days before the episode aired to tell her the scene “didn’t fit the rhythm” and suggested the footage be issued as deleted or bonus material.
- She firmly denied recent rumors of on-set fights or actors delaying production and reiterated that strikes, scheduling challenges and the death of Angus Cloud were cited as causes of the season’s delays.
- The disclosure comes as the show’s final season has drawn heightened attention for its portrayal of characters and unaired material, and fans are awaiting any official word on a confirmed release of deleted scenes.
