Although Kate Winslet has been in some amazing shows and movies recently, including Mare of Easttown and Lee, the actress has dropped out of her latest project, which was set to air on the popular streaming service Hulu in the US.
The show, The Spot, reportedly follows a successful surgeon, originally set to be played by the Titanic actress, and her husband who believes that she might be responsible for the hit and run death of a child. The synopsis continues: "While looking into the matter, dark secrets are revealed that will test their relationship as they confront the possibility of hidden guilt and betrayal."

The show is now reportedly recasting Kate's role and having conversations with other A-list stars, with the show still set to be released in 2026.

Amy Schumer was also originally cast in the Barbie movie before dropping out, with Margot Robbie ultimately taking on the role. Speaking about the casting, Amy told The Hollywood Reporter: "I think we said it was scheduling conflicts. That's what we said. But it really was just like creative differences. But there's a new team behind it and it looks like it's very feminist and cool, so I will be watching this movie."
