Sydney Sweeney has no shortage of raunchy scenes on Euphoria.
When the hit HBO series premiered in 2019, the actress took part in a headline-making sequence with Algee Smith's character. The two hooked up, though the bedroom escapade ended almost as quickly as it began when McKay crossed a line by engaging in non-consensual choking.
The Infamous Carousel Scene

Sydney Sweeney has been part of the show since its debut season.
Sweeney left viewers stunned with another shocking twist in Euphoria Season 1, Episode 4, when her character invited fellow high schooler Daniel Dimarco, played by Keean Johnson, to join her on a carousel.

Cassie's Abortion Storyline

'Euphoria' Season 1 premiered in June 2019.
The final three episodes of Euphoria Season 1 highlighted the events before and after Cassie found out she was pregnant with McKay's child.
While she kept it a secret from friends and family, she shared the news with her baby daddy — though it quickly took a heartbreaking turn when McKay told her he was not ready to be a father. The football star also urged her to induce an abortion.
Cassie sought comfort from her mother while struggling to decide between keeping the baby or following McKay's wishes. She ultimately decided to terminate the pregnancy at the end of the first season.
The Bathroom Scene With Jacob Elordi's Nate

'Euphoria' currently has aired three seasons to date.

While Nate barely made his escape before Maddy entered, the scene soon showed Cassie hiding in the bathtub, frozen in fear and covering her mouth as she fought to stay silent.

Sydney Sweeney's boyfriend, Scooter Braun, said he 'fully understands' the actress' wild scenes for 'Euphoria.'

"You've been a bad, bad dog," Nate said as he pulled her by the strap, prompting Cassie to softly reply, "Woof, woof."

Soon, Cassie stole Dylan's phone and posted a photo of the two in bed, writing in the caption, "World's greatest f--- @itsjustmecassie."
