The “Euphoria” star’s rep confirms she is not involved in the upcoming thriller “Day Drinker.”
Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney seemed anything but euphoric to hear reports that she will star in an upcoming supernatural thriller opposite Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny Depp.
The story originated from film critic Jeff Sneider, who wrote in his newsletter “The InSneider” that Sweeney, 26, and Depp, 60, would appear in director Marc Webb’s movie Day Drinker.
Sweeney seemed to respond to the news in a tweet on Saturday. “Woke up to ✨rumors✨ anyways go see @ImmaculateMovie in theaters this weekend!,” she wrote, referring to her latest horror film.

A representative for Sweeney confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that she is not involved in Day Drinker.
The piece about the Sweeney and Depp team-up still appears on Sneider’s website as an “exclusive,” and the post is still pinned to the top of his Twitter account. Sneider also quote-tweeted Sweeney’s remarks, writing, “A non-denial.”
Day Drinker is based on a story by Zach Dean, writer of Fast X and Chris Pratt’s The Tomorrow War. Set in Spain, Portugal, and France, the film centers on a grieving bartender who meets an “enigmatic stranger,” and explores themes of “love, friendship, and revenge.”
Webb, a filmmaker and music video director, helmed 2009’s 500 Days of Summer and 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man, and has served as a producer on shows like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Hulu’s just-concluded Death and Other Details. He is now in production on Disney’s live-action Snow White remake, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Godot.
Sweeney, meanwhile, is terrorizing filmgoers as a young nun in an Italian convent with a bloody evil pregnancy on her hands. Immaculate features cameos from both of Sweeney’s grandmothers, who enjoyed a nice Italian vacation while shooting it.
Depp’s reputation has taken a hit in recent years after his ex-wife Amber Heard’s accusations of domestic violence and the protracted legal battles that followed. He lost a libel lawsuit against The Sun in 2020 but won his defamation lawsuit against Heard in 2022. He recovered a $15 million award, though a jury awarded Heard $2 million in damages over her counterclaim against Depp.
The actor’s most recent acting credit was voicing Johnny Puff in the animated film Johnny Puff: Secret Mission. So far, neither Depp nor his former costars Geoffrey Rush, Keira Knightley, and Orlando Bloom will officially return for Jerry Bruckheimer’s planned reboot of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
“HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” an HBO spokesperson told Variety. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”
The scripts for Season 3 are still being written. The news comes after a report that the show’s third season has been scrapped entirely.
Production on the show’s third season had long been delayed, in part due to the Hollywood strikes and the July 2023 death of Angus Cloud, who played local drug dealer Fez. The show has also launched most of its cast — including Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Hunter Schafer — into the upper echelon of Hollywood, making it harder to coordinate production schedules.
In November 2023, HBO confirmed that the show’s third season was expected to premiere in 2025, meaning there would be at least a three-year gap between seasons since Season 2 debuted in January 2022. Due to the length of time in between seasons, rumors had been swirling that Season 3 would take place after a five-year time jump.
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon in January, Elordi joked that Season 3 would have to take place in the future, otherwise it would “seem like a weird bit.”
“I hope it’s soon, or they’re going to have to Benjamin Button me or something,” he said. “I’m going to have a bad back walking down the hallway, you know?”
“Euphoria” also stars Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Nika King, Storm Reid, Colman Domingo and Austin Abrams. It follows Rue (Zendaya), a teenage drug addict as she struggles to stay sober and readjust to high school after rehab. Though the show has garnered praise for its performances — Zendaya has won two Emmys for her portrayal of Rue — it has also generated backlash over its sexual content and portrayal of drug use.
