Hunter Schafer stars in the new movie Cuckoo alongside Dan Stevens and he is opening up about her experience working on the film versus the show Euphoria.
For those who don’t know, Hunter had her big break when she was cast as Jules on the HBO show Euphoria and she has since been seen in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and Kinds of Kindness.
Cuckoo was one of Hunter‘s first projects outside of Euphoria and Dan claims that she didn’t have the best experience working on the show.

“Her only experience prior to this was working on Euphoria, which is a very, very different experience, and by all accounts, not a terribly pleasant one,” Dan told Vanity Fair. “I think it was refreshing and delightful for her to realize that not every job needs to be like Euphoria. It was nice to be able to present that and to be a part of that. We can still shoot this incredibly f–ked-up, difficult scene, but everybody’s still friends at the end of the day and nobody needs to have months of therapy afterwards.”
Dan wanted to make sure Hunter had a great time on set, especially in her first leading role.
“There’s nothing more exciting than doing your first movie, especially the lead, at the dawn of a very, very exciting career,” he said. “There was a real energy there. She’s got a great attitude on and off set.”
Hunter recently opened up about the upcoming third season of Euphoria and what she knows.
