Jude Law and Andrew Garfield will star in “Wild Things,” a new limited series from Apple TV+ centered around iconic magicians Siegfried & Roy.
Variety has learned that the series takes its inspiration from the Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy Apple Original Podcast that “was the first in-depth podcast series about the most famous and controversial magicians in history,” per a press release. The upcoming limited series will consist of eight episodes that illustrate the pair’s “wild ride relationship.”
The official logline for the show states that it “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.”
John Hoffman, a six-time Emmy Award nominee known for “Only Murders in the Building” and “Grace and Frankie,” will serve as writer, showrunner and executive producer. Both Law and Garfield will executive produce in addition to starring, with Matt Shakman to executive produce and direct the first episode.
The Apple Original Podcast “Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy” premiered back in 2022, and took a deep-dive into the controversial magicians. All eight episodes are now streaming on Apple Podcasts.
