Watch Under The Bridge: Preview
True crime fans won’t want to miss this gripping eight-part drama. Starring a talented cast led by Academy Award-nominee Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon), it delves into the real-life murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk in British Columbia by a group of her female peers, an event which sent shockwaves through Canadian society. Dark, compelling, and full of unsettling performances, you can watch Under the Bridge online and stream all eight episodes 100% free on ITVX now – simply read our guide below for more details.
Developed by Quinn Shephard from Rebecca Godfrey’s bestseller, Under the Bridge charts the circumstances of Reena Virk’s notorious killing in 1997, a crime which The Globe and Mail described as being “elevated into a national tragedy.” Gladstone – Emmy-nominated here – takes on the role of Officer Cam Bentland, the only person to take Reena’s initial disappearance seriously. Reena, meanwhile, is played by Vritika Gupta (The Captain’s Mistress). Socially awkward, bullied, and ostracised by her community, she finds temporary refuge with a girl-gang dubbed the Crip Mafia Cartel. Until, that is, she’s reported missing and they’re suspected of homicide.
The series touches on race and religion, as well as incisively exploring the psychology of girl gang bullying. The award-nominated Riley Keough (Daisy Jones & the Six), playing a version of the author Rebecca, gets compromisingly close to the suspects as she undergoes research for her book on troubled Victoria teens. Her relationship to gang ringleader Josephine (Chloe Guidry) becomes particularly thorny, with both exploiting their mutual connection to individually self-serving ends.
This multi-layered series explores the many factors surrounding Reena’s murder, all lent a chillingly plausible humanity by a superb cast – not only its A-list leads, but the up-and-coming ensemble of young women too, whose performances The Daily Beast describe as providing “an unnerving, deeply gut-wrenching sense of volatility and violence, one which makes Under the Bridge almost impossible to look away from.”
Sensitively told and powerfully acted, don’t miss this explosive true-life tale: watch Under the Bridge online as explained below and binge all eight episodes FREE on ITVX and from anywhere now.
