Sydney Sweeney has taken a significant step in her career by signing a first-look agreement with Sony Pictures for Honey Trap, her new production company. Alongside this, her long-time creative partner Kaylee McGregor will be overseeing production and development. This announcement marks a pivotal moment in her professional journey.
Euphoria Season 3 concluded the story that propelled Sweeney into the spotlight. As Cassie Howard’s journey came to an end, the public’s curiosity about what comes next for the actress became inevitable. It seems Sydney Sweeney has already found her answer. In addition to acting, she is now delving deeper into Hollywood’s creative process through Honey Trap and its ambitious production plans.
Sydney Sweeney to Conquer New Horizons with Honey Trap
According to Deadline, Sydney Sweeney is expanding her influence behind the camera with the launch of Honey Trap, her new production banner. Joining her is longtime creative partner Kaylee McGregor, who will serve as president, overseeing production and development. The venture has secured a first-look agreement with Sony Pictures, the studio responsible for Sweeney’s successes with Anyone But You.
“We are committed to championing visionary filmmakers, complex characters, and stories that push beyond expectation while remaining deeply entertaining and emotionally accessible to audiences worldwide,” Sweeney and Sony stated jointly in a statement to Deadline. This promise lies at the core of Honey Trap’s creative identity. The company aims to explore stories built on tension and contrast, where beauty, danger, intimacy, and power coexist in unexpected ways.
This move feels like a natural progression for Sydney Sweeney, who has increasingly shaped projects beyond acting. Her hands-on involvement helped bring Anyone But You to life alongside filmmaker Will Gluck. By helping secure Glen Powell as her co-star, she played a key role in a romantic comedy that became an unexpected global box-office success.
Honey Trap also signals a broader ambition for the Emmy-nominated performer, who was also an executive producer of The Housemaid, which dominated the box office run. With producing now firmly established as part of her career, directing appears to be the next frontier. Given her strong relationship with Sony Pictures and growing creative confidence, that transition may arrive sooner than many industry observers expect.
Sydney Sweeney’s Upcoming Acting Projects
While Sydney Sweeney may be adding producer and potentially director to her growing résumé, she is far from abandoning acting. In fact, the actress already has a packed lineup of projects waiting in the wings.
Sydney Sweeney’s acting calendar remains as busy as ever. She is preparing to return as Millie Calloway in The Housemaid’s Secret opposite Kirsten Dunst, while also leading The Custom of the Country as the relentlessly ambitious Undine Spragg. Elsewhere, she is heading into blockbuster territory with the live-action Gundam adaptation and portraying screen legend Kim Novak in Scandalous!, directed by Euphoria co-star Colman Domingo.
The range of projects is particularly striking. Sydney Sweeney is attached to star in and produce That Man From Rio for Apple TV+, while also taking on the iconic title role in Edgar Wright’s Barbarella reboot. From literary adaptations and biographical dramas to science-fiction spectacles and adventure comedies, Honey Trap may be her newest venture, but acting remains the engine driving the Sydney Sweeney business.
