Summary
Cherry said Euphoria’s series finale left her devastated, especially Rue’s death and Ali finding her, while giving Faye a rare hopeful ending as she flees with Wayne.
Seven years on the show — from age 22 to nearly 29 — reshaped Cherry’s career and self-image, she said, after Sam Levinson cast her from adult films into her first TV acting role.
Faye’s outburst triggers the finale’s chaos, and Cherry said she played it as a breaking point for a character who feels used, abandoned and desperate to survive.
Cherry said Faye’s survival matters because the character has spent the series trapped by drugs, violence and family neglect, making her dream of a quiet life on a farm feel like hard-won hope.
The finale also resonated personally because of Angus Cloud’s death, Cherry said, tying the season’s spiritual themes and grief to the cast’s own losses as the HBO drama officially ends.
