Sydney Sweeney’s Hollywood Takeover: Inside the Star’s Transformative Year in 2025
A Rising Star’s Ambitious Portfolio
From her Emmy-nominated performances to producing her own hits, Sydney Sweeney has established herself as one of Hollywood’s most in-demand talents, with 2025 shaping up to be a pivotal year in her career. The year marks her definitive transition from breakout star to industry powerhouse, featuring a diverse slate of completed films, anticipated roles, and buzzy projects in development.
High-Profile Projects
One of her most anticipated projects is ‘The Housemaid,’ a psychological thriller directed by Paul Feig. In this intense role, Sweeney plays Millie, a young woman who becomes a housemaid for Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and her husband Andrew. The story takes a dark turn as Millie uncovers disturbing secrets within the family’s luxurious home.
Another significant project is the Apple TV+ thriller ‘Echo Valley,’ where Sweeney stars alongside Julianne Moore. The film debuts in select theatres on June 6, 2025, followed by a global streaming release. The story follows Sweeney’s character, Claire, who arrives at her mother’s remote Pennsylvania farm covered in blood, triggering a tense narrative about maternal protection.
Biographical Ventures
In one of her most transformative roles, Sweeney will star in ‘Christy,’ a biographical sports drama about former professional boxer Christy Martin. The film, which will premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, showcases Sweeney in an almost unrecognizable portrayal. The narrative spans several decades, following Martin’s rise in 1990s boxing and includes the dramatic story of her survival of an attempted murder by her husband in 2010.
Future Endeavors
Adding to her diverse portfolio, Sweeney will collaborate with Euphoria co-star Colman Domingo in his directorial debut ‘Scandalous,’ where she’ll portray Hollywood icon Kim Novak. The film explores Novak’s controversial romance with Sammy Davis Jr. in 1959, a relationship that faced intense scrutiny due to the era’s racial tensions.
Through this impressive array of projects spanning thrillers, biopics, and drama, Sweeney continues to prove herself not just as a rising star, but as a versatile powerhouse talent unafraid of taking on challenging and diverse roles.
