Elle Fanning Stars in Critically Acclaimed True Crime Series Following Under The Bridge on Hulu

The Girl From Plainville is a highly acclaimed Hulu series that delves into a shocking true crime case involving manslaughter and teens. Critics praise Elle Fanning’s performance as Michelle Carter in The Girl From Plainville, earning a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. While Under the Bridge focuses on a group of teenage suspects, The Girl From Plainville centers on the legal consequences faced by one individual.

Fans of Under the Bridge should check out The Girl from Plainville from 2022. The Girl From Plainville stars Elle Fanning as Michelle Carter, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the infamous 2014 “texting suicide” case that resulted in the death of Conrad Roy from Plainville, Massachusetts. It’s another true crime limited series on Hulu based on a shocking true story involving manslaughter, teens, and a media frenzy. The series also stars Chloë Sevigny, Cara Buono, and Colton Ryan as Roy.

The legal consequences of both true crime cases are also quite different for their defendants, with Carter only serving 15 months of a 2.5-year prison sentence while Kelly Ellard, who changed her legal name to Kerry Sim, is currently serving a life sentence in Canada. The Girl From Plainville also drew controversy from some viewers who believe the series tried to empathize with Carter, but fans of Under the Bridge can decide for themselves.

The Girl From Plainville was widely praised by critics upon its March 29, 2022 release, earning a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe wrote in his review of the series, “The Girl From Plainville has no explicit point of view to justify itself. What it does offer, though, is an extraordinary cast led by Elle Fanning, Colton Ryan, Chloe Sevigny, and some tasteful scripting.” Kristen Lopez of IndieWire noted, “It’s dreamy, disturbing, and impeccably acted by Fanning and Ryan.”
