Riley Keough And Lily Gladstone Are Back In Hulu's Under The Bridge
If there's one thing the 2024 Oscars taught me, it's that Lily Gladstone is here to STAY. The actor became the first Native American to be nominated for Best Actress thanks to their work in Killers of the Flower Moon (they're also the first to win the Golden Globe and SAG Awardfor their role!). They captivated audiences and added such a beautiful, nuanced grace to every scene — and based on the trailer for Hulu's crime thriller Under the Bridge (which also stars Daisy Jones' Riley Keough) they're going to do it again. Here's everything we know about the new TV show.

Under the Bridge, based on Rebecca Godfrey's book of the same name, follows Rebecca (Riley Keough) and a local police officer (Lily Gladstone), who are trying to figure out what happened to teen Reena Virk, who left for a party and never came home. The more they investigate the group of teens accused of the murder, the more they learn just how much they *don't* know about what happens around town after dark.

Yes, Under the Bridge by Rebecca Godfrey is based on the real-life story of Reena Virk, a 14-year-old living in Victoria, British Columbia. On the night of November 14, 1997, Reena left for a party with some other teenagers from around town, and was found under the town's bridge. The book — and the series — continually ask the question: "What happened under the bridge?"

"[This story] forever changed a fact that young girls were the ones we were supposed to protect — not be protected from."
Nothing is ever what it appears to be, and it seems like that's the lesson of every small town story. Under the Bridge is going to be full of secrets, and who's *actually* worth trusting is going to be top-of-mind the whole time. I can already tell this will be a huge moment for both Riley Keough and Lily Gladstone, and I am most excited to see a story about women, told by women. Watch the Under the Bridge trailer here.
