Hewson to star in DOWNFORCE
Racing dynasties and family drama collide in Hulu’s newly announced pilot DOWNFORCE, which will pair Bono’s daughter Eve Hewson with Emmy winner Murray Bartlett (THE WHITE LOTUS).
The comedy series centers on the tense reunion between Victoria, a cutthroat investment banker played by Hewson, and her estranged father Sir Trevor, portrayed by Bartlett. When circumstances force Victoria to return to her family’s prestigious racing empire, father and daughter must reconcile their differences—and their competing expertise—to preserve the team’s storied reputation.
Bartlett takes on the role of the charismatic Sir Trevor, the racing outfit’s bombastic founder, while Hewson portrays his business-savvy daughter Victoria, whose financial acumen could either save or destroy her father’s legacy. The show explores whether their complementary skills—his racing knowledge and her business prowess—can overcome years of separation.
The announcement comes as Hewson basks in the glory of her latest project, Netflix’s mystery drama THE PERFECT COUPLE, now streaming.
