Jude Law (The Young Pope, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew) and Andrew Garfield (Under the Banner of Heaven, Tick, Tick…Boom!) are set to executive produce and play Las Vegas showman-magicians Siegfried and Roy, respectively, in the newly picked up Apple TV+ limited series Wild Things, from writer, showrunner and executive producer John Hoffman (co-creator/showrunner, Only Murders in the Building).

Based on the Apple original podcast, Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy, the eight-episode, hour-long series “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 pushes 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,” according to a release from the streamer.

Production will begin this fall with Matt Shakman (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, WandaVision) set to direct the pilot and serve as executive producer alongside Hoffman, who will also direct.

Brian Grazer, Kristen Zolner, and Natalie Berkus will executive produce for Imagine Entertainment, the company producing Wild Things. Additional executive producers include Tony Leondis, Kathy Ciric, and Will Malnati, who conceived the podcast on which the show is based. Steven Leckart, who wrote, narrated, and executive produced the podcast for AT WILL MEDIA, also exec produces.

Law is repped by CAA, Julian Belfrage Associates, and Jackoway Austen; Garfield is repped by CAA, Gordon and French, and Sloane Offers Weber; Hoffman is repped by CAA and Anonymous Content, and Gendler Kelly & Cunningham; Shakman is repped by CAA and Yorn Levine Barnes.
