Barbie Ferreira, who gained love and attention on HBO’s buzzy series “Euphoria,” is joining the cast of “House of Spoils,” a psychological thriller starring Ariana DeBose.
The film is backed by Amazon Prime Video and Blumhouse Television. Production is expected to begin in the fall.
Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy will direct “House of Spoils” from their own script. It will premiere on Prime Video on a yet-to-be-determined date.
“House of Spoils” follows an ambitious chef (DeBose) who opens her first restaurant — a farm-to-table joint on a remote escape — where she battles chaos in the kitchen, a dubious investor and crushing self doubt. Oh, and the powerful spirit of the estate’s previous owner, who is constantly threatening to sabotage her. Ferreira is playing a sous chef who works with Debose’s character. According to the official logline, the film is “a tense, psychological and sensuous thriller that will leave hearts pounding and mouths watering.”
Ferreira became a Gen Z bold-faced name thanks to playing high schooler Kat Hernandez on HBO’s acclaimed drama Euphoria for two seasons. She announced on Instagram last week that she was “having to say a very teary-eyed goodbye” to the character and would not be returning for a third season.
On the work front Ferreira made her film debut in 2020 with HBO Max’s timely abortion road trip comedy Unpregnant and appeared on the big screen this summer in Jordan Peele’s thriller Nope.
Blumhouse chief Jason Blum is producing the film with Alex Scharfman, Lucas Joaquin and Drew Houpt of Secret Engine, as well as Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath for Divide/Conquer. Executive producers include Chris McCumber and Jeremy Gold for Blumhouse Television.
