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.
