Courtesy of a limited Netflix series, Madonna will bring her life to the small screen.
Since the release of her1982 single ‘Everybody,’ the now 66-year-old legend has been in the spotlight, having gone on to become one of the most successful musicians in the world.
Born Madonna Louise Ciccone, the superstar singer/songwriter has teamed up with the Canadian director of Deadpool & Wolverine, Shawn Levy, and his 21 Laps Entertainment production company.
According to Deadline on Monday (5.12,) “A limited series about her life and music is in early development at Netflix, with Madonna and Shawn Levy, whose 21 Laps has an exclusive TV overall deal at the platform, executive producing.” “The duo, who had been discussing the project for a while, are starting from scratch: the biographical limited series is 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 Queen of Pop.”
The report went on to suggest the 31-year old Garner could still play the chart-topping star in the limited series, and did not make clear if the show will cover her entire life, or focus on a specific period.
Madonna had previously worked with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody to write a script about her life for a planned film project – however reports emerged in January 2023 that the planned film had been scrapped following three years of development.
