Sydney Sweeney's Dark Handmaid's Tale Role, Explained

Few young stars have had as meteoric a rise to fame as Sydney Sweeney, who has found herself at the center of discussions ever since taking on the role of Euphoria's Cassie Howard. However, almost a year before debuting in Euphoria in 2019, Sydney Sweeney had a darker role in The Handmaid's Tale. A challenge for the young actress, Sweeney's short time on the show was a gut-punch. Introduced in The Handmaid's Tale season 2, episode 5, "Seeds," Sydney Sweeney played Eden Spencer, a young woman forced to marry Nick Blaine (Max Minghella) when she's only 15 years old.
