“I had had so many shitty experiences with men before—not from dating them, but just in life,” she said while explaining that it led her to create an emotional barrier around men. However, her relationship with the Elliot’s Song singer allowed her to break down such barriers.

She shared that it not only helped her to “work through a lot of the feelings of disdain” towards men but also allowed her to open up emotionally in ways she hadn’t experienced before. She told GQ,

“I think it had inhibited a lot of my friendships with men, and a lot of that came down as well. I had a really beautiful relationship with [Fike], and it really opened me up in that way.”

The relationship, however, also brought its own challenges, as it was her first time publicly dating a famous person. “It was completely different,” she said, suggesting that the public spotlight intensified scrutiny and attention during their relationship and split.

While Euphoria fans can breathe a sigh of relief regarding Hunter Schafer’s situation, the wait for season 3 continues. Originally expected in 2023, the season’s release has been pushed back to 2025. This delay can be attributed to several factors, including production disruptions due to the writer’s strike in 2023 and the tragic passing of actor Angus Cloud, who played Fez in the series.

Francesca Orsi, Vice President of HBO Programming, shared with fans the reasons of pushing back the release date for the seriers (via Elle):

“We can’t start shooting. So the delivery of that show — ideally in 2025 — will be determined on when we can pick back up with Sam [Levinson], who at this point is [not writing] and just finishing on The Idol.”

Schafer has had a major role in the series thus far and is expected to have a major role in future as well. While HBO or Euphoria did not comment on Schafer’s recent protest incident, it does not affect their professional partnership. Both the seasons of Euphoria can be streamed on HBO Max.
