Disney+ has released the first-look images from upcoming psychological thriller The Spot, starring Claire Danes (Homeland) and Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting) as a married couple whose lives begin to unravel following the death of a child. The new series, produced by A24, is set to premiere in the US on Wednesday 13 January 2027, with a UK release on Disney+ also planned.
The newly released photographs offer a first look at Danes and McGregor together in the drama, alongside fellow cast members Daveed Diggs (The Boys), Michael Patrick Thornton (Black Rabbit) and Macon Blair (Oppenheimer).
Created and written by Ed Solomon (Men in Black, Now You See Me), The Spot follows a successful surgeon and her schoolteacher husband who begin to suspect that she may be responsible for a child’s death in a hit-and-run incident. As the couple attempt to uncover the truth, they become caught up in a growing web of suspicion and dark secrets, forcing them to confront the possibility of guilt and betrayal. Their investigation puts their marriage under enormous pressure as they begin questioning how well they really know one another.
The series is produced by A24 in association with 20th Television, with Solomon serving as executive producer alongside Robin Sweet and Ariel Kleiman, who will also direct. The Spot will premiere on Hulu in the US on Wednesday 13 January 2027, with new episodes released weekly until the season finale on 3 March. Hulu has also announced the series for Disney+ internationally, although a UK-specific premiere date has not yet been separately confirmed.
For CultureCues, this looks like it could be a gripping drama, and we’re looking forward to seeing Claire Danes and Ewan McGregor together on screen. We’re big fans of psychological thrillers, and having A24 behind the series is another reason we’ll be giving it a watch. The first-look images have us looking forward to more, and hopefully we’ll get a UK release date soon.
The Spot premieres on Hulu in the US on Wednesday 13 January 2027, with weekly episodes until 3 March. The series is also coming to Disney+ in the UK.
