Charli XCX Set To Make Guest Appearance In Benito Skinner’s Upcoming Amazon Comedy Series Overcompensating

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for emerging talent, I must say that Charli XCX’s life is a whirlwind of creativity and versatility! It seems like she’s not just making music waves but also causing quite a splash in the acting world. From her guest role in Overcompensating to her executive music production duties, she’s surely demonstrating her multi-talented prowess.


Charli XCX is all set and occupied! She’s been confirmed to act in a guest role for Benito Skinner’s Amazon Prime Video comedy series, Overcompensating, alongside being its executive music producer. Skinner shared this news with fans on Instagram, hinting at Charli’s acting debut on the show. The casting has also been officially confirmed by Amazon.

The TV series titled “Overcompensating” was conceived by author Benito Skinner, drawing inspiration from his personal experiences. This show offers a unique perspective on American colleges, focusing on the lives of two main characters: Benny, a former football king who’s hiding his true self, and Carmen, a high school outcast yearning for acceptance. With the aid of Benny’s older sibling, they navigate their college journey filled with false IDs, parties, heavy doses of vodka, and all the challenges that come along with it.

Skinner hinted at Charli’s upcoming appearance on the show via Instagram, indicating that season 1 has wrapped up. In his post, he expressed his belief that viewers will enjoy it as much as they did creating it. He also playfully suggested that Charli was not just involved in the music for the show…

The story itself is humorous but touches quite personally on the question of why and how people try too hard and try to be who they are not. The writing and executive production of this series is done by Skinner, Hill, Matt Dines, and Ali Goodwin, while Charli XCX holds the discretion of the executive music producer. The series will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

According to Deadline, it’s reported that Apple’s singer will make an appearance in the thriller movie “I Want Your Sex,” directed by Gregg Araki. This film also features Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman as main characters. Additionally, she is involved with David Lowery’s upcoming A24 production titled “Mother Mary.” In this project, she will not only star but also executive produce the music score, alongside Anne Hathaway.

Additionally, Emma Corrin and Maika Monroe from Longlegs are set to join the cast of 100 Nights of Hero. This upcoming period fantasy drama is being directed by Julia Jackman and is based on the graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg. The film will also star Nicholas Galitzine, who was seen in Red, White & Royal Blue.

Previously, Charli XCX lent her talents to the song “Speed Drive,” found on the soundtrack for the Barbie movie. Beyond that, she’s also known for tracks like those from The Fault in Our Stars and Bodies Bodies Bodies. Recently, her sixth album, BRAT, released in June, created quite a buzz, dominating music charts and pop culture conversations online.
