More about Scoot McNairy and Lola Petticrew's roles in the upcoming Black Widow-inspired Hulu series
As per the latest reports by Variety, True Detective's Scoot McNairy and Bloodlands' Lola Petticrew have joined the upcoming Hulu series. Scoot McNairy will play a sharp yet weary NYPD Detective, Danny, in the Black Widow-inspired series. Even though the homicide detective looks sharp, he's an absolute emotional mess.
Apart from True Detectives, McNairy has also been part of several other notable projects, including East of Wall, Speak No Evil, Narcos: Mexico, Gone Girl, and Amor Fati.
Petticrew will play Catherine, the serial killer who's a master manipulator and a disguise specialist. Her trick?

Some of Petticrew's notable projects include Say Nothing, Tuesday, Dating Amber, and A Bump Along the Way.
What was the 1987 film Black Widow all about?
Black Widow (1987) starring Debra Winger is a cat-and-mouse thriller that will keep you hooked till the end. Winger played a no-nonsense federal agent who starts chasing a mysterious woman (Theresa Russell) with a deadly pattern: marry rich, kill them off, and vanish. What starts as a serial killer case turns into something more twisted, and maybe even a little personal. So if you like slow-burning tension, a stylish 80s thriller with a bite, Black Widow is a must-watch.
Black Widow is available to watch on Apple TV+, Tubi, and Fandango.
