Hunter Schafer’s “Cuckoo” Costar Dan Stevens Just Made Some Seriously Wild Claims About Her Time On “Euphoria”

“I think it was refreshing and delightful for her to realize that not every job needs to be like Euphoria,” Dan said.

It’s fair to say that the HBO series Euphoria is just as known for its behind-the-scenes gossip as it is for its onscreen storylines.

Then, soon after the season’s lackluster finale aired on Feb. 27, 2022, the Daily Beast published a damning article about the allegedly “toxic” environment on set.

But through all of the drama, one of the stars who hasn’t really divulged much about their experience on set is Hunter Schafer, who plays Jules.

But despite Hunter’s best efforts not to feed into the Euphoria discourse, her Cuckoo costar appears to have revealed that she also struggled on Sam Levinson’s set.

The Downton Abbey star then referenced Hunter’s time on Euphoria, saying: “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’s comments come shortly after the Hollywood Reporter published a wide-ranging exposé on Euphoria’s previously confirmed third season, which claimed that production had been delayed due to a dispute between Sam and the show’s lead actor, Zendaya.
