Emmy winners Ewan McGregor and Claire Danes will headline The Spot, a Hulu original series produced by A24 and 20th Television. The project initially had Oscar and Emmy winner Kate Winslet attached as both star and executive producer when Hulu gave it a straight-to-series order in 2024. However, Winslet exited earlier this year for creative reasons, with Danes stepping into the lead role shortly after.
According to Deadline, the series follows a successful surgeon (played by Danes) and her schoolteacher husband (played by McGregor) who begin to suspect that she might be responsible for a child’s hit-and-run death. Their search for the truth soon unravels a web of suspicion, guilt, and betrayal — forcing them to question both their memories and their marriage.
The complex thriller premise blends psychological tension with moral complexity, making The Spot one of the most intriguing upcoming A24 dramas on television. Creator Ed Solomon, known for Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Now You See Me, will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Robin Sweet and Ariel Kleiman also executive produce, with Kleiman set to direct. Production is scheduled to begin in 2026.
All in all, more plot specifics remain under wraps, The Spot promises a gripping psychological exploration of guilt and truth — the themes that fit right into A24’s trademark storytelling style. With McGregor and Danes at the center of a morally ambiguous story, the series is much anticipated by fans and viewers alike.
With production slated for 2026, The Spot will likely premiere on Hulu in late 2026 or early 2027, marking one of the streamer’s most anticipated collaborations yet.
