How Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough’s Instagram Friendship Led to ‘Under the Bridge’

Writer Rebecca Godfrey’s 2005 book “Under the Bridge” was a nonfiction investigation into the beating death of Reena Virk, a Canadian girl of Indian descent who was bullied and then killed by a group of teens in 1997. Its Hulu limited series adaptation, whose producers and creators include Quinn Shephard and Samir Mehta, gives the story a twist by introducing Godfrey as a character and adding a fictional indigenous police officer, Cam Bentland, while focusing on Virk more closely than the book could do.

“Daisy Jones & the Six” star Riley Keough plays Godfrey, who died of lung cancer during preproduction, and also produced with her partner, Gina Gammell.
