Kate Winslet Leaves Hulu Series Due to Creative Differences

xited the Hulu series “The Spot” due to creative differences. The project, produced by A24 and created by Ed Solomon, required a different approach to the leading role than Winslet had initially anticipated, leading to their mutual agreement to part ways.

Currently, casting is underway to find a replacement for Winslet, with multiple A-list actors being considered for the role. Production is expected to resume as planned in 2026.

Winslet was set to star and executive produce “The Spot,” a crime drama that received a straight-to-series order from Hulu back in August 2024. The show’s official logline describes a surgeon and her husband who suspect her involvement in a child’s hit-and-run death, delving into a web of suspicion and secrets that test their relationship.

Ed Solomon, known for his work on projects like “Men in Black” and “Now You See Me,” will serve as creator, showrunner, and writer for “The Spot.” He will also executive produce the series alongside A24, the lead studio, and in cooperation with 20th Television.

Deadline first reported Winslet’s exit from the series, but the show is moving forward with finding a new lead actor to bring this intriguing story to life. Stay tuned for more updates as “The Spot” continues to develop.
