Madonna Teaming Up with Shawn Levy on Biopic Series for Netflix

Music icon Madonna is teaming up with Netflix and director Shawn Levy on a limited series about her life and music.

The series is in early development and is unrelated to the previous Madonna feature film that was set at Universal Pictures, with Julia Garner attached to star as the singer, before being scrapped in January 2023.

It’s unclear which part of Madonna’s life the limited series would portray or who would play the musical legend.

The singer put the Universal film on pause in favor of embarking on her worldwide “The Celebration Tour” from October 2023 to May 2024, but sources told Variety at the time of the move’s hiatus that “she remains committed to making a film about her life one day.”

She co-wrote two drafts of the film’s script with Oscar winner Diablo Cody and Cressida Wilson (“Secretary,” “The Girl on the Train”) about large periods of her creative life.

“Ozark” star Garner won the role after other stars like Florence Pugh, “Euphoria” actor Alexa Demie, Odessa Young and Bebe Rexha attended singing and dancing bootcamps.

Madonna’s most recent album, 2019’s “Madame X,” sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide and became the ninth No. 1 album of her career. Her “Celebration Tour” was one of the fastest-selling tours of all time, with more than 1.2 million tickets sold.

Madonna made $225.4 million from 80 shows and played to an audience of 1.1 million.
