After the finale of the latest season of Euphoria (2019–2026), Sydney Sweeney sets her sights on a new chapter in her career. The actress has founded her own production company, Honey Trap, and from now on she wants to profile herself even more strongly behind the scenes as a producer. She also does not rule out a future as a director.
Important collaboration
Honey Trap immediately secured an important collaboration. The company entered into an agreement with Sony Pictures, the studio with which Sweeney previously successfully collaborated on the romantic comedy Anyone But You (2023). That film unexpectedly became a worldwide hit and grossed more than 210 million dollars.

Major projects on the way
Sweeney is currently working with Sony on a new version of Barbarella (1968). The remake is directed by Edgar Wright and is based on the iconic comic book series by Jean-Claude Forest. The original 1968 film made Jane Fonda a cult icon.
