Jude Law and Andrew Garfield to lead new Apple TV+, 'Wild Things'

The eight-part drama is based on the Apple Original Podcast, Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy,

Today, Apple TV+ has announced that Jude Law and Andrew Garfield will lead their new eight-part limited series Wild Things, which is based on the Apple Original Podcast Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy.

They'll play renowned showmen Siegfried & Roy in Wild Things, which tells the wild ride relationship tale of two of the greatest showmen-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.

Made by Imagine Entertainment, Wild Sings will be written, showrun, and executive produced John Hoffman, who serves as lead writer, with Matt Shakman serving as pilot director and executive producer.

It's set to go into production this autumn with Brian Grazer, Kristen Zolner and Natalie Berkus executive producing for Imagine Entertainment, alongside Tony Leondis and Kathy Ciric.

Will Malnati, who conceived Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy, will executive produce the project alongside Steven Leckart, who wrote, narrated, and executive produced the podcast for At Will Media.

Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy premiered in 2022, and was the first in-depth podcast series about the most famous and 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.

Wild Things will air on Apple TV+
