“The duo, who had been discussing the project for awhile, are starting from scratch: the biographical limited series is not related to the Madonna feature biopic which was previously in development at Universal with three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner as the choice to play the Queen of Pop,” the outlet notes.
It’s also not yet clear which period of Madonna’s life that the Netflix series would be centered around.
Julia has remained in Madonna‘s orbit, appearing on her Celebration Tour and partying with her at Madonna‘s 2025 Oscars party.
“I hear the Ozark star would most likely play Madonna, subject of availability as she doesn’t have a deal. (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),” Deadline notes.
It’s not yet known if Madonna would also be writing the TV show, as she is penning the movie she’s been working on. She recently expressed frustration about making it happen, and wondered if it’d be better as a TV series.
Shawn is an executive producer on Stranger Things, The Perfect Couple and All the Light We Cannot See.
Madonna has sold 400 million records worldwide and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. She is certified as the best-selling female music artist in history.
Most recently, she suited up for the 2025 Met Gala.
