Shawn Levy is reportedly gearing up to helm a limited series about the life and career of Madonna for Netflix.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Levy’s production company 21 Laps has begun work developing the project as part of their overall deal with the streamer. Netflix, Levy, and Madonna have all yet to comment on the direction of the series or when it might be released.
There have been several previous efforts to adapt Madonna’s story for the screen. Recently, Universal Pictures was in the early stages of producing a film version with Julia Garner reportedly being considered as the frontrunner for the starring role, though the movie was ultimately scrapped in early 2023. Last year, Madonna made a post on Instagram hinting that a new cinematic or television project may be in the works.

For her part, Madonna made headlines earlier this year for burying the hatchet with Elton John and for performing a standup comedy set in New York City.
