Masque Of Red Death

Announced In January 2025

The announcement of Sidney Sweeney’s latest upcoming project arrived in early 2025 with not as much information regarding it. However, the film, Masque of Red Death, is an adaptation of one of Edgar Allan Poe’s brilliantly dark short stories. The story follows the desperate attempts of Prince Prospero and other nobles to avoid a threatening plague called “Red Death” by retreating to a secluded abbey. However, death is not easy to deceive.

A24 and Picturestart stated that plans for the movie, a black comedy, include a “wildly revisionist” approach to Poe’s story (via ᴅᴇᴀᴅline). Charlie Polinger is tasked with the writing and direction of the film. The book has already been adapted, including the famous 1964 version, starring Vincent Price. Sweeney, with her varied background in both comedy and horror, is an ingenious match for the satirical revision of Poe’s gothic tale.

Euphoria Season 3

Announced In February 2022

Sweeney’s breakout role, Cᴀssie Howard, deserves a proper conclusion after the shocking second season. Cᴀssie’s arc in Euphoria’s previous episodes, characterized by an upsetting descent into obsession, insecurity, and betrayal, left audiences in tears, while also becoming one of the show’s most controversial plot twists. For this reason, the character’s tumultuous journey must have proper closure.

The fans hope that in Euphoria season 3, Cᴀssie will finally be able to ponder and accept her inner demons and seek the help she needs. However, Euphoria’s future is still uncertain, with some doubts about when the show is going to air again. The delivery of the new season was supposed to occur in 2025, but the SAG writers’ strike in 2023 slowed down the production. According to Variety, however, the beloved HBO series is likely to return next year.

Unтιтled Christy Martin Movie

Announced In May 2024

It might seem like an unusual project for the star of the popular HBO teen drama, but earlier last year, Sweeney was chosen to play Christy Martin in a biographical sports drama. The story, written by David Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes and directed by Michôd wrapped filming in November 2024 and will focus on Martin’s rise as the most famous female boxer of the 1990s.

However, it also seemingly will not shy away from the woman’s personal struggles, covering her story as an abuse survivor, including her escaping her husband’s attempted murder. Martin was supposedly also involved in the production of the film. About her role, Sweeney commented: “Christy’s story isn’t a light one, it’s physically and emotionally demanding, there’s a lot of weight to carry” (via ᴅᴇᴀᴅline).

Echo Valley

Announced In March 2023

Directed by Michael Pearce and written by Brad Ingelsby, the premise of Echo Valley ​​​​involves Claire (Sweeney), a young woman who one night unexpectedly returns home in a secluded area of Pennsylvania to her estranged mother in a profoundly upsetting state. The role of mother is played by Academy Award-winner Julianne Moore, while Kyle MacLachlan is the father.

The plot prepares the fans for a chilling and emotionally charged thriller that attempts to explore the extent to which a parent, or more specifically a mother, is willing to go to protect her daughter. Sweeney, who has in the past given proof of her heartfelt ability to honor and expand on the emotional depth and intensity of a character, will complement the tense and agonizing tone of the film. The movie is set to be distributed by Apple TV+.

The Housemaid

Announced In October 2024

In the upcoming psychological thriller, The Housemaid, Sweeney will play the leading character, Millie Calloway, a young woman hired to work as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy family, only to uncover dark secrets within the household. The film is an adaptation of an international bestseller written by author Freida McFadden. The movie is being directed by Paul Feig, nominated for more than one Emmy for his work with Freaks and Geeks and The Office.

The book came out in 2022 and received widespread attention from the public, who declared their love for the story on social media, gaining the attention of Hollywood producers. Sweeney, who has already proved herself to be an excellent “scream queen,” will be able to match the eerie nature of the story. The filming of the upcoming thriller The Housemaid started in January and is set to finish next month.

Barbarella

Announced In October 2022

Although there is still little that the public knows about the film, Barbarella is one of the most awaited upcoming projects starring Sweeney. The movie is a remake of one of the most famous sci-fi cults in the history of cinema, a classic that, regardless of the not-very-sophisticated quality, is still remembered. The original 1968 work was led by the icon Jane Fonda.

According to Variety, Edgar Wright, the writer and director of Last Night in Soho, is in talks for the direction of the movie, while Jane Goldman and Honey Ross are being considered for the script. Sweeney will certainly honor Barbarella’s Sєx symbol status, while also delivering a witty and intriguing performance she is more than capable of. If Sydney Sweeney‘s allure wasn’t already widely recognized, her work in Anyone But You proved the actress’ clever wit and comedic timing.
