Madonna Developing Limited Series with Netflix on Her Life and Music

Hollywood, CA – Global music superstar Madonna is teaming up with Netflix to develop a limited series about her life and career. The project is in early stages, and Madonna is collaborating with producer and director Shawn Levy of 21 Laps, whose company has an exclusive overall deal with the streaming giant.

The series marks a new beginning for Madonna, who had previously sought to make a biopic, a project that was being developed at Universal Pictures with Julia Garner set to star. However, that film was put on hold, and now the focus has shifted to a limited series format.

Details about the new Netflix series remain scarce. It is unclear which specific era of Madonna’s extensive career the show will cover, as there is no writer attached at this time. In the past, she worked on drafts for the feature film script alongside Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody.

Shawn Levy’s track record at Netflix includes popular titles such as Stranger Things and The Perfect Couple. Madonna has expressed a long-standing desire to share her journey through music and art with the world. In an earlier announcement about the biopic, she stated, “I want to convey the incredible journey that life has taken me on as an artist, a musician, a dancer – a human being, trying to make her way in this world.”

Madonna previously hinted at a shift from a film-based format to a series last year. She revealed on social media that she was contemplating how to best tell her story after receiving suggestions from various industry professionals.

Madonna’s career has been groundbreaking, having sold over 400 million records globally, making her the best-selling female artist in history. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, solidifying her influence in music and pop culture.

Currently, Madonna is represented by several agencies, including CAA and Maverick Management. While the Netflix project is still in its infancy, fans are hopeful that this new direction will finally bring her story to life.
