Hulu’s ‘Under the Bridge’ Explores the Tragic Bullying and Murder of Reena Virk

Premiering on April 17, ‘Under the Bridge’ on Hulu dramatizes the true crime events surrounding the 1997 murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk in Victoria, Canada. Based on Rebecca Godfrey’s book, the eight-episode series sheds light on the teenage bullying that culminated in Virk’s tragic drowning. Investigating the case for six years, Godfrey collaborated with Quinn Shephard to bring the story to the screen. Godfrey’s untimely death from lung cancer shortly after the series announcement added a poignant layer to the project. The case involved multiple individuals, including Kelly Ellard (charged with second-degree murder) and ‘The Shoreline Six,’ a group of six girls prosecuted as young offenders. Over the years, Ellard faced multiple trials and was ultimately convicted in 2005, serving several years in prison. She was granted day parole in 2017 and has since changed her name to Kerry Marie Sim.
