Jude Law, Andrew Garfield to Play Siegfried & Roy in Apple Limited Series ‘Wild Things’

Jude Law and Andrew Garfield have signed on to star in the Apple TV+ limited series about iconic magicians Siegfried & Roy, Variety has learned.

The eight-episode series was first reported to be in the works at Apple back in 2022. As reported at the time, it is based on the Apple Original Podcast, “Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy.” Law will star as Siegfried and Garfield will star as Roy, with production set to commence in the fall.

The official logline for the show states that it “tells the wild ride relationship tale of two of the greatest showman-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.”

John Hoffman developed the series for television and will serve as executive producer, showrunner, and director. Both Law and Garfield will executive produce in addition to starring. Matt Shakman is attached to executive produce and direct the first episode. Brian Grazer, Kristen Zolner and Natalie Berkus will executive produce for Imagine Entertainment, alongside executive producers 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.
