For True Crime and murder mystery fans:
Hulu has UNDER THE BRIDGE coming April 17th with Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone.
The series premieres on Hulu with two episodes on April 17, with new episodes launching weekly.
A true murder mystery, this is based on acclaimed late author Rebecca Godfrey’s book about the 1997 true story of fourteen-year-old Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta), who went to join friends at a party and never returned home. This is told through the eyes of Godfrey (Riley Keough) and a local police officer (Lily Gladstone), as the series takes us into the secretive world of the young girls accused of the murder — revealing startling truths about the unlikely killer. In 1997, 14-year-old Reena Virk was considered an outcast, bullied, and teased about her weight and other things before, but this time was different. After being accused of spreading rumors, she was attacked by a group of teens. They lured this girl to the Craigflower Bridge in Saanich, British Columbia, and beat her - causing her death. Her body was found eight days later. Seven girls and one boy were accused of the crime.
Backstory: Canadian novelist and journalist Rebecca Godfrey became entangled with the crime; the girls involved let her into their world, trusting her with their secrets. Godfrey spent years reporting on the ground and 2005 published Under the Bridge, an account of Virk’s death and those involved in it. It was compared to Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood.
The series stars Lily Gladstone, Vritika Gupta, Chloe Guidry, Javon “Wanna” Walton, Izzy G., Aiyana Goodfellow, Ezra Faroque Khan with Archie Panjabi and Riley Keough.
