Andrew Garfield And Jude Law Are Siegfried & Roy For Apple TV+
Apple TV+ today announced it has landed new limited series Wild Things which will tell the story of renowned showmen Siegfried & Roy with Academy Award-nominees Jude Law (Star Wars: Skeleton Crew) and Andrew Garfield (We Live in Time) playing the famed duo, respectively.
Written, showrun, and executive produced by six-time Emmy Award nominee John Hoffman – Co-creator/Show runner, Only Murders in the Building – the eight-episode, hour-long series tells the wild ride relationship tale of two of the greatest showman-magicians in history who, along with their white tigers, are tasked with turning Sin City into a family-friendly destination. The duo push the concept of illusion versus reality to the extreme, personally and professionally, until tragedy reframes and opens a mystery surrounding their last fateful Las Vegas show.
Matt Shakman (The Fantastic Four: First Steps) will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer.
Hailing from Apple Studios, the limited series will be produced by Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment. “Wild Things” is based on the buzzy Apple Original Podcast, “Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy”, which premiered in 2022, and was the first, compelling in-depth podcast series about the most famous, controversial magicians in history, who were widely misunderstood, frequently satirised and feverishly criticised. The podcast goes behind the velvet curtain to examine the pop culture icons, lionised by a global fan base for more than 40 years, to deconstruct the illusions they created, the empire they constructed, and what really happened on the night that a tiger attack ended their reign. All eight parts are now streaming on Apple Podcasts.
