She was recently cast in the Hunger Games prequel A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes as Tigris, the half-sister of President Snow. Hunter is also starring in the 2023 horror film Cuckoo, which wrapped filming in July 2022. At first glance, it might be easy to mistake House of the Dragon's leading actor, Emma D'Arcy, for Hunter Schafer.
