Hunter Schafer made her Hollywood debut playing Jules on Euphoria , but an acting career wasn’t something she was seeking out.

(Schafer is set to star in Prime Video’s upcoming Blade Runner 2099 .) “I feel like I did TV and that was such a great intro to acting, but since moving into films, I realized I love the film format so much more,” Schafer explained.
