The eight-part series Under the Bridge (https://www.hellomagazine.com/tags/itv/), which is set to land on the streaming platform on July 25th, follows a real-life story about the investigation into one of the most shocking Canadian crimes of the late 1990s
The official synopsis reads: "Under the Bridge is based on acclaimed author Rebecca Godfrey’s book about the 1997 true story of fourteen-year-old Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta) who went to join friends at a party and never returned home.
Through the eyes of Godfrey (Riley Keough) and a local police officer (Lily Gladstone), the series takes us into the hidden world of the young girls accused of the murder — revealing startling truths about the unlikely killer."
Reena, 14, was beaten and killed by a group of teenagers in Saanich, Canada, back in 1997. She was a victim of bullying, and her death saw eight teenagers tried and convicted in relation to her murder
with six convicted of assaulting her while two, Warren Paul Glowatski and Kelly Marie Ellard, were convicted for murdering her.
Under the Bridge's creator Quinn Shephard wrote a piece for The Hollywood Reporter about the response to the show, particularly in regards to Reena's complicated personal history.
