Madonna Teams Up With Shawn Levy and Netflix For a Limited Series Based on Her Life: Report
Madonna fans have been waiting for years to see the Queen of Pop get her very own biopic — and according to a new report, they may finally get to see one. According to a report from Deadline on Monday (May 12), Madonna has teamed up with Deadpool & Wolverine producer Shawn Levy to develop a limited series based on her life and career for Netflix. Levy's production company 21 Laps currently has an exclusive deal with Netflix. More from Billboard See Madonna, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx & Lorde Squeeze In for Epic Met Gala Selfie Twenty One Pilots Fans Jumped Into Veronica Mars Mode After Someone Took Off With One of Josh Dun's Bespoke Drums Palm Tree Festival to Debut in St. Tropez With Headliners A$AP Rocky & Swedish House Mafia Billboard reached out to representatives for Madonna and Netflix for comment. The new project is apparently not related to a much-discussed and since-delayed feature film based on Madonna's life. The project, which was being developed by Universal Pictures and set to star Ozark and Inventing Anna actress Julia Garner as the pop superstar, was put on an indefinite hold in 2023 as Madonna embarked on her Celebration World Tour. In 2024, however, Madonna sparked rumors that the film might be back in the works, when she shared a since-deleted photo of herself sitting at a typewriter working on a screenplay titled Who's That Girl — an apparent nod to her 1987 film and song of the same name. Still, Madonna herself floated the idea of creating a TV series about her life in November of last year, claiming that a number of 'producers and agents' told her that she wouldn't be able to make her film the way she wanted to. 'Downsize-down scale-think smaller-they say—I realized that everything in my life is going to be challenged,' she wrote in a since-removed post, before asking her fans if they would prefer to see her story adapted into 'a series or a feature film.'

Shop The Exact Fashion In 'And Just Like That...' Season 3 – Carrie's Most Maximalist Looks Yet
And Just Like That... has returned for Season 3, and like the rest of its loyal fans, we're as captivated by the will-they, won't-they long distance travails of Carrie and Aidan as the outfits our protagonist – alongside Charlotte, Miranda, Lisa and Seema – will be wearing. The Sex and the City revival continues to deliver viral fashion moments with aplomb (see the enormous gingham hat sported by Carrie in episode 1) while advancing the style evolution of our favourite trio. Miranda now favours quiet luxury (Loro Piana checked coat incoming), Charlotte is staying true to her Upper East Side preppy and Carrie's outfits are more eclectic than ever. Costume Designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago continue to helm the show, having worked alongside Patricia Field on Sex and the City. On approaching styling for the reboot, Rogers told The Golden Globes: 'The girls were so excited to be back, like we never left. It was the same atmosphere, the same energy. They loved to look through the racks and pull things up and we'd all look in the mirror with the same critical eye and say, 'That needs to be shorter, or that's not flattering...' We did a vote. It was really collaborative and fun.' FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Summing up their individual style, Rogers shares: 'I'd like to describe Carrie as whimsical, the best word for Charlotte is polished, and Miranda, she's more relaxed now.' Following its return to screens (stream AJLT on Sky and Now TV in the UK with new episodes every Friday ), we've spotted Charlotte in Veronica Beard, Roger Vivier and Marni with Miranda opting for neutral creams and grey, plus earthy tones of green while dating Rosie O'Donnell's Sister Mary. Meanwhile Carrie's looks are among her most maximalist yet, with a beautifully romantic rose-embedded Simone Rocha runway dress and jacket worn to send lovelorn postcards to Aidan, and a print clash pairing of a graphic print cotton top and some Zimmermann silk capri pants. Moving on from her beloved Manolos, Ms Bradshaw favours Aquazurra heels this season, worn for five outfits so far and counting. Reassuming its position as one of the most closely followed, imaginatively styled and widely debated comedy dramas of our time, we've rounded up the best looks, viral moments and exact matches from And Just Like That... season three. Never knowingly overdressed, Carrie wears Simone Rocha's beautifully romantic SS24 dress and jacket straight from the runway to write and send Aidan's heart-emblazoned postcard. The corseted dress is decorated with 3D roses on the bodice and hips, while the gauzy jacket has a utilitarian feel with pockets and an oversized hood. She pairs them with bejewelled Aquazurra So Nude sandals. While the exact dress isn't available you can shop similar from the designer. In the most outlandish outfit of the episode, Carrie goes maximal in a huge gingham hat by Maryam Keyhani, worn with a multi-coloured striped Ossie Clarke dress (which with AJLT's costume designers drew comparisons to Carrie's striped strapless dress in SATC Season 6, Episode 1). White Dr. Scholl sliders and a Pierre Cardin navy logoed cross-body bag add a touch of practicality to the now-viral look. Charlotte pairs a high neck polkadot blouse with smart black trousers and Jennifer Chamandi heels (the exact pair later spotted on Lisa Todd Wexley) for a trip to the vets. You can shop her exact heels and bag now. Miranda opts for an olive Weekend Max Mara jumpsuit to meet Carrie and Charlotte for drinks, and you can shop the exact style now. As Lisa attends husband Herbert's campaign event, Nicole Ari Parker stuns in a citrus brights La Double J column dress worn with a Bottega bag, both of which you can shop now. While Carrie seeks advice on her phone sex fail with Aidan, Charlotte stays true to her roots in a floral print Marni dress, available to shop in sale now. Dressed for what we assume is a date night, Carrie stuns in an crystal embellished Alex Perry dress which sold out as soon as paparazzi captured filming. Dubbed 'the new Carrie dress' it is worn with a silver diamanté bag and another pair of Aquazurra heels. Shop a version of it now.
