Euphoria may have officially come to an end, but Chloe Cherry is not quite ready to say goodbye to Faye. Following the emotionally charged series finale, Cherry opened up about her journey on HBO’s hit drama and revealed that she would happily step back into Faye’s shoes if the opportunity ever arose. The actress, who made her television acting debut on Euphoria, described the show as a life-changing experience that completely transformed the way she views herself and her career.
Cherry first joined the series as Faye, a troubled but fiercely loyal young woman navigating addiction, crime, and complicated relationships. Over time, the character became a fan favorite thanks to her blunt honesty, vulnerability, and unexpected emotional depth.
Looking back on the series finale, Cherry admitted she was deeply affected by the tragic ending, particularly Rue Bennett’s fate. She revealed that she watched the episode with close friends and spent much of the finale in tears.
One of the moments that hit her hardest involved Rue’s mentor Ali, played by Colman Domingo. Cherry praised Domingo’s performance and said the emotional weight of the storyline left a lasting impression on her.
The actress also reflected on the real-life losses connected to the show, including the death of Angus Cloud, who portrayed the beloved Fezco. Cherry explained that the themes of grief, faith, and healing explored throughout the final season resonated strongly with her own experiences.
For Cherry, Euphoria represented much more than a television series. The show occupied nearly her entire twenties, beginning when she was cast at age 22 and continuing until she approached her 29th birthday.
She credited creator Sam Levinson with helping her discover a confidence she had never previously felt. According to Cherry, Levinson’s belief in her abilities changed the trajectory of her life and allowed her to see herself in a completely different light.
The actress revealed that before Euphoria, she often struggled with self-doubt and uncertainty about her future. Being recognized for her humor, creativity, and acting talent gave her a newfound sense of confidence that continues to shape her career.
When discussing Faye, Cherry explained that she relates deeply to the character’s desire for meaningful connections. She believes Faye’s journey has always been driven by a search for loyalty, family, and a sense of belonging.
That search ultimately influenced Faye’s actions during the finale, where feelings of betrayal and desperation pushed her to make decisions that changed the course of events.
Despite the chaos surrounding her character, Cherry was relieved that Faye survived the series. She hopes the character eventually finds the peaceful life she has always dreamed of, far away from the violence and addiction that defined much of her past.
In Cherry’s ideal ending, Faye and Wayne leave their troubled lives behind, settle somewhere quiet, and finally build the stable future she never had growing up.
While Euphoria’s story has concluded, Cherry made it clear that she is not ruling out a return.
“As long as Sam Levinson’s directing, I’ll revisit Faye anytime in my life,” she said.
For fans still processing the end of Euphoria, Cherry’s comments offer a small sense of hope. The series may be over, but for her, Faye remains a character worth revisiting whenever the opportunity arises.
