Hunter Schafer Broke Down Over Angus Cloud’s Death While Discussing The “Tough” Prospect Of Returning For “Euphoria” Season 3

While Season 2 aired, Sam — the show’s sole writer — was criticized for the episodes’ confusing plotlines and excessive onscreen nudity. After the finale, the Daily Beast published a report about the allegedly “toxic” and “disorganized” environment on set, questioning Sam’s seemingly chaotic creative process.

A year later, Sam landed himself in hot water over his second HBO project, The Idol, which faced widespread criticism for its “misogynistic” storylines. Insiders also condemned the behind-the-scenes environment on the show, with Rolling Stone publishing a scathing exposé alleging that Sam’s production was a “shitshow.”
