BREAKING: Acclaimed actors Ewan McGregor and Claire Danes are set to headline Hulu’s highly anticipated original series, The Spot, produced by A24. This gripping drama, which received a straight-to-series order in 2024, is expected to captivate audiences with its complex narrative and stellar performances.
The announcement comes as the project finalizes its lead actors after a brief period of development, with Danes stepping in to replace Kate Winslet, who exited the series earlier this year for creative reasons. The casting shift has fueled excitement among fans eager for a fresh take on the story.
According to Deadline, The Spot follows a successful surgeon (Danes) and her schoolteacher husband (McGregor) as they grapple with the shocking suspicion that she may be involved in a child’s hit-and-run death.

This psychological thriller merges tension with moral complexity, positioning The Spot as one of A24’s most intriguing upcoming dramas. The series will be created by Ed Solomon, known for his work on Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Now You See Me. Solomon will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, alongside producers Robin Sweet and Ariel Kleiman, who will also direct.
Production for The Spot is slated to begin in 2026, with a likely premiere on Hulu in late 2026 or early 2027. As details remain under wraps, the series promises to deliver a gripping psychological exploration of guilt and truth, resonating with A24’s signature storytelling style.
