Kate Winslet to Star in ‘The Spot’ Series for Hulu

As a seasoned gamer of the silver screen, the news about Kate Winslet joining “The Spot” has me absolutely thrilled! With her remarkable acting prowess, demonstrated time and again through critically acclaimed performances like Mildred Pierce, Mare of Easttown, and her Oscar-winning role in The Reader, I can’t wait to see her bring the complexities of this character to life.


Actress Kate Winslet is all set to feature in “The Spot,” an upcoming dramatic series, penned by screenwriter Ed Solomon, which has been greenlit directly for production by streaming platform Hulu.

The series, produced by 20th Television, revolves around a renowned surgeon and her school-teaching spouse who gradually become suspicious that she might have been involved in a hit-and-run accident resulting in a child’s death. As they delve deeper in search of the truth, their suspicions grow, uncovering a tangled web of secrets and shadows that challenge their resolve and relationship. They must face the prospect of concealed guilt and deception as they grapple with the possibility of hidden betrayals.

Solomon is the one who developed, authored, and will oversee the production of the series titled “The Spot”. He’s also involved in the executive production alongside Kate Winslet and her production company Juggle Productions, as well as A24. Winslet, a renowned film actor, gained prominence with her role in Peter Jackson’s “Heavenly Creatures” back in 1994. She has garnered two Emmy Awards for her performances in “Mildred Pierce” and “Mare of Easttown”.

Apart from playing the lead role with Leonardo DiCaprio in “Titanic”, she has a list of other film appearances including “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, “Revolutionary Road”, “Little Children”, “Steve Jobs”, and an Oscar-winning performance in “The Reader”.

Solomon has been involved in projects such as the “Men in Black” series, the “Now You See Me” movie trilogy, and the “Mosaic” TV show. He also penned the script for the film “No Sudden Move,” directed by Soderbergh and produced by Casey Silver, which made its premiere at Tribeca and featured stars like Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, Ray Liotta, Brendan Fraser, Kieran Kulkin, and Matt Damon.

In his latest production, titled “Full Circle,” Solomon has delivered an engaging six-hour limited series that shares directing credits with Steven Soderbergh and boasts a star-studded cast featuring Claire Danes, Zazie Beetz, Dennis Quaid, and Timothy Olyphant.
