Kate Winslet is set to star in a new Hulu series from writer Ed Solomon and A24. Titled “The Spot,” the show has received a straight to series order at the streamer.
The official logline states, “When a successful surgeon (Winslet) and her schoolteacher husband begin to suspect that she may be responsible for a child’s hit-and-run death, their quest for truth spirals into a web of mounting suspicion and dark secrets, testing their resolve and their relationship as they confront the possibility of hidden guilt and betrayal.”
Solomon serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner of “The Spot.” Winslet will executive produce in addition to starring under her Juggle Productions banner. A24 is the lead studio in co-production with 20th Television.
Winslet has been a force to be reckoned with in TV in the past several years. She most recently starred in the HBO limited series “The Regime.” Previously, she starred in the HBO limited series “Mare of Easttown,” for which she won the Emmy Award for best actress in a limited series. She won in the same category in 2011 for the HBO series “Mildred Pierce.” She will return to HBO for the limited series “Trust,” which is currently in the works. Winslet is also known for her seven Oscar nominations, including those for films like “Titanic,” “Iris,” and “Little Children.” She won the Oscar for best actress for her work in the film “The Reader” in 2009.
She is repped by CAA and United Agents in the UK.
Solomon most recently co-created the Max limited series “Full Circle” with Steven Soderbergh. The pair had worked together prior to that on the film “No Sudden Move” and the HBO series “Mosaic.” Solomon has also written hit films such as “Men in Black,” the “Bill & Ted” films along with Chris Matheson, and the “Now You See Me” films. He is repped by CAA.
