Overview

• Netflix is developing a limited series about Madonna's life and music, with Madonna and Shawn Levy serving as executive producers.
• The project is unrelated to the scrapped Universal Pictures biopic, which was shelved in early 2023 as Madonna prioritized her Celebration Tour and health recovery.
• Julia Garner, who was previously cast in the Universal biopic, is a likely candidate to play Madonna in the series, though no formal casting has been finalized.
• Key creative details, including the narrative focus, writing team, and showrunner, remain undecided as the series is still in its early stages.
• Madonna’s collaboration with Levy’s 21 Laps aligns the project with Netflix’s slate of high-profile limited series, leveraging Levy’s success with hits like 'Stranger Things.'
