Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy is working on a show about the life and music of Madonna for Netflix.

Prior to Deadpool & Wolverine, Levy has made movies such as 2003’s Cheaper by the Dozen, 2006’s Night at the Museum, 2010’s Date Night, 2011’s Real Steel, 2021’s Free Guy, and more. He’s currently working on a Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Starfighter, that will be released in 2027.

What do we know about Shawn Levy’s Madonna Netflix show?

Per Deadline, Levy, along with his 21 Laps company, and Madonna are executive producing the new show.

The project is “starting from scratch” and is not related to the Madonna biopic movie that was scrapped in January 2023. Ozark and Wolf Man’s Julia Garner was previously tapped to play the iconic popstar in that film, while others such as Florence Pugh, Alexa Demie, Odessa Young, and Bebe Rexha attended singing and dancing bootcamp in hopes of booking the role.

“Garner has remained engaged — she famously appeared alongside Madonna on stage at the singer’s Celebration Tour in December 2023 — and I hear the Ozark star would most likely play Madonna, subject of availability as she doesn’t have a deal,” Deadline’s article notes. “(Garner would also feel right at home at Netflix where she just signed on her for her third series, an FTX limited series, following her turns on Inventing Anna and Ozark.)”

It’s not yet clear if the television series will cover Madonna’s entire life or just a certain part of her career, as the project is still said to be in its “early days of development.”

It is additionally uncertain whether or not Madonna will be involved in writing the project or any larger capacity than being an executive producer. She worked on the script for the feature film that was previously in development alongside Diablo Cody and Cressida Wilson.
