Playing Tigris Snow will be a departure for Hunter Schafer from the role she played during her first venture, ‘Euphoria’. Jules was a naive teenager who was treading and finding her footing while being in a turbulent relationship. However, Snow is a mature woman who is an advisor to her cousin, Coriolanus.
During an interview with ET on the red carpet during the premiere of ‘The Ballads of Songbirds And Snakes’, she said that playing Tigris helped her step out of her comfort zone. Hunter said, “Tigris kind of feels like the first character piece I’ve really done that’s not like a teenage girl who is kind of like one step away from who I am. It was a challenge for me.”
