Last week, Barbie Ferreira revealed that she will not be reprising the role of Kat Hernandez on the third season of HBO’s Euphoria. Now we know what she’ll be doing next instead, as it has been announced that she’s joining Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) in the thriller House of Spoils, which is coming to us from Blumhouse Television and Amazon Prime Video.
We first heard about House of Spoils when DeBose’s involvement was announced a couple weeks ago. The film is being written and directed by the duo of Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy, whose previous credits include the 2019 film Blow the Man Down, episodes of the recent mini-series adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand, and episodes of the AMC+ series Moonhaven.
Described as a “tense, psychological and sensuous” thriller, House of Spoils will see DeBose taking on the role of
an ambitious chef who opens her first restaurant—a farm-to-table affair on a remote estate—where she battles kitchen chaos, a dubious investor, crushing self doubts… and the powerful spirit of the estate’s previous owner who threatens to sabotage her at every turn.
Details on the character Ferreria will be playing have not yet been revealed. In addition to Euphoria, Ferreira’s credits include Unpregnant, a very brief appearance in Jordan Peele’s Nope, and episodes of Divorce, The Afterparty, and Robot Chicken.
Filming on House of Spoils is expected to begin this fall. The project is being produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, Secret Engine’s Alex Scharfman, Lucas Joaquin, and Drew Houpt, and Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath. Blumhouse Television’s Chris McCumber and Jeremy Gold serve as executive producers.
