Madonna Teams With Shawn Levy For Limited Series At Netflix

Madonna has partnered with Netflix for a limited series about her life and music currently in early development, with Madonna and Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy executive producing, Deadline exclusively reports. A rep for Netflix declined comment.

According to Deadline the duo, who had been discussing the project for awhile, are starting from scratch: the biographical limited series is therefore not related to the Madonna feature biopic which was previously in development at Universal with three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner as the choice to play the lead.

It is early days of development on the TV series, so it is unclear yet which period in Madonna’s decades-spanning career it will focus on. Still, Garner has remained engaged — she famously appeared alongside Madonna on stage at the singer’s Celebration Tour in December 2023 — and I hear the Ozark star would most likely play Madonna, subject of availability as she doesn’t have a deal.
