Under the Bridge’s showrunners explain the series’ ending.
is out on Wednesday, but don’t expect one of those heart-stopping endings where viewers finally find out who the murderer was. That’s because the show revealed that information several episodes ago, and besides, anyone with access to the internet could have found the answer whenever they wanted. The series tells the story of the real death of Canadian teenager Reena Virk , who was beaten and killed by a group of teenagers, some of whom were her friends, in 1997.
Oh, can you really find performers who are going to be on the level for how complex the roles are, if you go that young?I really believe that acting isn’t something you necessarily need a lot of years of training for. It’s tapping into something very real, and I think that’s what we encouraged them to all do. And they blew me away.You could never dream of getting those two, and to have gotten them in the way we did is insane.
What was it like working on a period piece and trying to re-create the world of the ’90s, especially working with so many young people who hadn’t even been born then?We had a great production designer, Jen Morden, who was really great at that aspect of it. We built so many sets—because we had so little time, we couldn’t afford to move locations, so we ended up building something like 30 sets.
How did you think about getting the dynamics between the girls and their friendships right? They can be so hot and cold, and they just turn on a dime.That’s just straight-up my childhood. I think a lot of young girls who lash out at other young girls are in environments that are unstable or environments that have a lot of bullying and teach them that culture.
I guess the only thing I would add on the topic of it reaching real people is maybe just a message to viewers: Don’t try to go after the real people. There’s a reason we changed some of the real people’s names. I was scrolling on TikTok the other day and I got a TikTok that was of the real-life Josephine. Someone had found the news footage of her. There were hundreds of thousands of views and comments and people being like, “Oh my God, the actress nailed her mannerisms at the end.
