Sydney Sweeney has signed a first-look agreement with Sony Pictures for Honey Trap, her new production company, while longtime creative ally Kaylee McGregor takes charge of production and development. The announcement arrives at a pivotal moment in her career. Euphoria Season 3 has wrapped up the story that transformed Sweeney into a household name. Once Cassie Howard's turbulent journey reached its conclusion, curiosity about the actress's next act became inevitable.

It appears Sydney Sweeney already has the answer. Alongside acting, she is stepping deeper into Hollywood's creative machinery through Honey Trap and its ambitious production slate.

Sydney Sweeney is expanding her influence behind the camera with the launch of Honey Trap, her new production banner, as per Deadline. Joining her is longtime creative partner Kaylee McGregor, who will oversee production and development as president. The venture arrives with a first-look agreement at Sony Pictures, the studio behind 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." That promise sits at the heart of Honey Trap’s creative identity. The company aims to embrace stories built on tension and contrast, where beauty, danger, intimacy, and power coexist in unexpected ways.

The 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 unlikely global box-office success.

Honey Trap also signals a larger 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.

While Sydney Sweeney may be adding producer and, potentially, director to her growing résumé, she is hardly abandoning acting. In fact, the actress already has a packed lineup of projects waiting in the wings.

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.
