When actress and producer Riley Keough received the first episode of Hulu’s “Under the Bridge,” she was apprehensive. Keough wanted to make sure this story was more than just entertainment and the story wasn’t an exploitative one. “I’m really trying to be thoughtful about what I’m putting into the world,” she tells PvNew’s Awards Circuit podcast.
The limited true crime series follows the 1997 murder of Reena Virk (played by Vritika Gupta), a 14-year-old girl in Saanich Core, British Columbia. After attending a party with her “friends” near the infamous Craigflower Bridge, Reena never returns home.
Keough plays Rebecca Godfrey, a real-life journalist who penned a book of the same name. In “Under the Bridge,” Rebecca travels back to the area for a story and ends up working alongside a cop (played by Lily Gladstone) investigating the beating and attack.
