Euphoria Stars Alexa Demie and Hunter Schafer in Iceland
Two familiar faces from Euphoria have arrived in Iceland for one of the summer's most colourful and sky-watching weekends. According to Vísir, Alexa Demie and Hunter Schafer landed in Iceland on 7 August, with Reykjavík Pride and next week's total solar eclipse among the reasons for the visit.
Reykjavík Pride brings colour to the capital
Reykjavík Pride's parade filled the city centre today with music, colour and a celebration of LGBTQIA+ community, visibility and creativity. Vísir reported that the actors were expected to take part in the festivities; their attendance at the parade itself has not been confirmed. Either way, the timing places their Iceland visit right in the middle of one of Reykjavík's happiest weekends.
Demie is known to Euphoria viewers as Maddy Perez, while Schafer plays Jules Vaughn. Their trip is a fun reminder that Iceland can pack culture, city energy and a completely different kind of natural spectacle into the same week.
They timed the trip for the 2026 solar eclipse
The total solar eclipse on 12 August is the big event on the horizon. For practical viewing information, weather-aware planning and ideas for where to experience it, see our Iceland solar eclipse 2026 guide.
Four easy ways to see more of Iceland
No itinerary for the actors has been confirmed, but these organised day tours are excellent ways to go beyond Reykjavík:
- Snæfellsnes National Park with Local Meal — dramatic coastlines, lava landscapes and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in one day.
- South Coast Adventure — waterfalls, black-sand beaches and the classic south-coast scenery.
- Whale Watching from Reykjavík — a memorable break on the water, right from the capital.
- Horse Riding and Golden Circle — meet the Icelandic horse and see some of the country's best-known sights.
