Part 6/9:
Hedlin’s shift from streaming to film is noteworthy, especially given the context of her recent career trajectory. Her work often appears deeply personal or autobiographical, with thematic ties to her own life and experiences. For example, her Broadway play Cult of Love explores complex family dynamics and her own background.
Some fans and industry observers see her departure from streaming projects as a sign of her dissatisfaction with how her projects were handled or received, particularly after the failure of The Acolyte. She’s also no longer attached to direct the Netflix adaptation of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which she had been developing. Instead, she is focusing on her own creative pursuits, including her new film projects.
