The last time we talked about Madonna’s biopic, he had his doubts about whether it would be better to turn his life into a series. A few months later, Deadline says that the superstar has aligned with Netflix to tell its story in a miniseries (“Limited Series” is a series of a single season). Shawn Levy, at the head of development.
Both Levy and Madonna would have been planning the project for a while, which they have decided to start from scratch. This means that the content of the series will have nothing to do with the film that was previously under development in Universal and in which Julia Garner would have played Madonna. It is not clear if Garner still has the role.
Levy, who is behind series as successful as ‘Stranger Things’, was also responsible for directing the last Deadpool movie. In this film, the film’s main music scene had as a soundtrack the song ‘Like a Prayer’. To get it, Levy and actor Ryan Reynolds have repeatedly counted that they had to gather with Madonna herself in person to give the approval.
