Euphoria Season 3 Teaser Shows Sydney Sweeney Absent From Group Photo, Production Says It’s Not A Feud

Euphoria Season 3 Teaser Highlights Who Was in the BTS Clip
The short teaser shared for Euphoria Season 3 features the cast at a behind-the-scenes photoshoot. Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie and Maude Apatow are shown laughing and posing together for the group shots, while Sydney Sweeney appears elsewhere in the clip in a solo shot of her smiling. Jacob Elordi is also featured briefly in the video. The teaser was captioned, “Taking the smallest moments and dreaming them up into something bigger. #Euphoria. ”
Production Source Blames Scheduling, Denies Feud
Page Six was told Sweeney’s absence from the group photo was not related to any alleged feud with Zendaya. A production source set the record straight to TMZ, saying Sweeney was missing from the shoot because she was filming a scene at that time and the footage in the teaser captured only certain moments. The production source stated the BTS shots were not promotional photos but behind-the-scenes material collected during production.
Fan Reaction, Past Reports, and Sweeney’s Remarks
Fans noticed Sweeney’s omission from the group shot and flagged it on social platforms, with comments noting the absence. Earlier reporting had suggested a feud between Sweeney and Zendaya tied to differing political views; that reporting also claimed the two declined to do press or stand next to each other at events. Sweeney has addressed politically charged labels applied to her, telling Cosmopolitan she does not want to be at the forefront of political conversations and saying she isn’t a hateful person. She added that there is “no winning” when responding to politically charged claims and that she will continue being who she is.
The teaser release and the production clarification come ahead of the series’ planned return, with promotion building around the new season’s rollout. For now, production representatives maintain the absence seen in the behind-the-scenes clip is explained by on-set scheduling rather than interpersonal conflict.
