Jude Law and Andrew Garfield to Star in Siegfried & Roy Series on Apple TV+

In exciting news, Jude Law and Andrew Garfield are set to lead the new limited series “Wild Things” on Apple TV+. The show will revolve around the iconic magicians Siegfried and Roy, drawing inspiration from the Apple Original Podcast of the same name.

The series, spearheaded by John Hoffman, an esteemed writer, showrunner, and executive producer with six Emmy Award nominations under his belt, will delve into the intriguing story of the two legendary showman-magicians. In this eight-episode drama, we’ll witness Siegfried and Roy, alongside their white tigers, transforming Sin City into a family-friendly destination. The logline teases an exploration of illusion versus reality on both personal and professional fronts, culminating in a mysterious twist surrounding their final, fateful Las Vegas performance.

Law will step into the role of Siegfried, while Garfield will portray Roy. Not only are they taking on these captivating characters, but they will also wear executive producer hats for the series, which is scheduled to commence production later this year.

Taking the helm for the pilot episode is Matt Shakman, known for his work on “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” and “WandaVision.” The production boasts an impressive lineup of executive producers, including Brian Grazer, Kristen Zolner, and Natalie Berkus from Imagine Entertainment, as well as Tony Leondis, Kathy Ciric, and more.

The Apple Original Podcast “Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy,” which premiered in 2022, offered a detailed look into the lives of these controversial magicians. The podcast explored their fan base, public personas, and the events leading up to the tragic tiger attack that forever altered their careers and reputation.
