Chloe Cherry Makes Debut in HBO Drama 'Euphoria'

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Chloe Cherry made her debut Sunday as a featured character in HBO’s popular high-school drama “Euphoria,” produced by Drake and executive produced by series star Zendaya.

Cherry’s performance as “Faye” in the hit prestige cable series made such an impression that the show's creative team chose to highlight her comedic delivery, during an Uber ride scene with Zendaya, as the punchline of the season’s trailer. The character of Faye appeared in the first episode of the second season, quickly becoming a fan favorite.

“The moment I got this audition, I knew I could do it,” Cherry exclusively told XBIZ. “I love becoming a character that is totally different from me. I knew she had to be tough but also make you smile. I came up with so much backstory in my mind to become her. She has seen so much and just keeps experiencing more darkness and insanity.”

“You can tell she wants more, though,” Cherry continued. “You can see in her clothing and her sense of humor she has something bright in her. The entire cast and crew was extremely talented and amazing to work with. I got to improv some lines which was very fun. I hope you all love Faye and find her funny and exciting.”

Cherry’s inclusion in one of the most lauded and talked-about cable TV offerings — along with her gutsy choice to keep her adult performer name in the credits — marks yet another step in the erosion of the discriminatory barriers that have been known to prevent sex workers and adult performers from auditioning for mainstream roles.

Cherry made her high-profile “Euphoria” debut confidently and matter-of-factly, skipping over the absurd line separating performers who have or have had sex on camera from those who don’t. Doing so, she follows in the very recent footsteps of such crossover stars as 2022 XBIZ Performer of the Year Maitland Ward, who has a sitcom in the works premiering this year; Zelda Morrison, nominated for a prestigious Independent Spirit acting award for her brilliant supporting role in Ninja Thyberg’s “Pleasure”; and erstwhile solo model Simon Rex, heralded internationally for his role as a male talent in Sean Baker’s “Red Rocket.” 

Besides featured player Cherry, other adult stars have also shot scenes for “Euphoria” as background performers, including Aiden Ashley, Diana Grace and 2022 XBIZ Best New Performer Kenzie Anne.
