Full Circle creator Ed Solomon and production company A24 have teamed up with Hulu for the new drama series The Spot.

In addition to Full Circle, Solomon wrote the script for other recent Steven Soderbergh projects, No Sudden Move and Mosaic, as well as the classic sci-fi comedy Men in Black. A24, meanwhile, may be best known for their movies (examples this year include Sing Sing, Civil War and Love Lies Bleeding), but they've also been behind some acclaimed TV series, like Beef, The Sympathizer and Sunny. Is The Spot their next big TV hit?

Here's what you need to know about it.

The Spot release date

There is no release date for The Spot at this time, but the expectation is that the series will premiere in 2026. We do know that whenever The Spot premieres it is going to stream on Hulu for US audiences.

In all likelihood, that means The Spot is going to stream on Disney Plus in the UK, but that's not confirmed at this time.

If you want to make sure you'll be able to watch The Spot whenever it premieres, you can sign up for Hulu now and in the meantime enjoy its other original programming, including Only Murders in the Building, The Bear and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

The Spot cast

Kate Winslet was previously attached to star in The Spot, but according to Deadline she has left the project. Indications are that the series hopes to get another A-list actress to take over the role vacated by Winslet.

There are no other confirmed cast members for The Spot at this time. We'll keep this post updated as new additions are announced.

"When a successful surgeon and her schoolteacher husband begin to suspect that she may be responsible for a child's hit-and-run death, their quest for truth spirals into a web of mounting suspicion and dark secrets, testing their resolve and their relationship as they confront the possibility of hidden guilt and betrayal."
