Cuckoo Star Hunter Schafer Wanted Something Different From Euphoria—She Found It in a Gory German Horror Film

“I had never been on another set than Euphoria before,” Schafer tells Teen Vogue.

Schafer will make her lead debut in Cuckoo, a stylish and chaotic thriller set in the German Alps by writer and director Tilman Singer, on August 9. Schafer was already a fan of Singer’s first film Luz, and fell in love reading the “dense and strange” world he built for Cuckoo. While the actress is currently filming the Blade Runner 2099 series in Prague, she appeared in Yorgos Lanthimos’s Kinds of Kindness and starred in major ad campaigns for Prada earlier this year; she is also set to star in the upcoming epic melodrama Mother Mary, and will begin filming Euphoria season 3 in January 2025.
