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.

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.'

SWAT: Exiles: Deacon & Victor Tan Actors React to the Spin-off Announcement
While the upcoming spin-off series, titled SWAT: Exiles, will soon usher in a new era for the fan-favorite franchise, its abrupt announcement seems to have drawn a bittersweet reaction from Jay Harrington, who played Deacon, and David Lim, who portrayed Victor Tan in the original series. The duo has come out to share their disappointment about being informed of the spin-off just two days after the premiere of the SWAT Season 8 finale. In a recent discussion, Jay Harrington, who played the role of Deacon on SWAT throughout its eight-season run, noted that the cast was completely unaware of the existence of SWAT: Exiles. While speaking with TVLine, the Better Off Ted alum revealed that 'not once' was he notified of the recently confirmed SWAT spin-off. Harrington, along with most of the rest of the show's cast, only came to know about plans for Exiles on May 18, from Hondo actor Shemar Moore. Understandably taken aback by the sudden announcement for SWAT: Exiles, Harrington stated, 'I did not have a spin-off on my bingo card, for sure.' While he admitted that the SWAT producers did not owe him anything, he did say that the studio should've let him know that they wanted a 'clean break [and to] start fresh.' 'If there was any disappointment, it's that when they announced it, we weren't mentioned at all,' Harrington added. While Harrington expressed his feelings about SWAT: Exiles in an expansive interview, his co-star, David Lim, penned a heartfelt message on his Instagram profile to do the same. After showing gratitude to fans for celebrating his eight-year stint on SWAT, Lim let his thoughts about the forthcoming spin-off be known. He wrote, 'I'd be lying if I said the rollout of the new spinoff didn't sting. It was tough to see it announced just two days after our finale—with no mention of the cast who helped build S.W.A.T. from day one. After 8 incredible seasons, it felt like we were brushed aside when there could've been a moment of reflection and recognition—for the people who built this show, and for the impact it had on so many.' Despite his criticisms of how the announcement of SWAT: Exiles was handled, Lim reiterated how proud he was of his castmates before concluding his message by noting, 'No version of this story can take that away.'

All-American Rejects' frontman Tyson Ritter teases 'full-frontal' on OnlyFans
All-American Rejects' frontman Tyson Ritter teases 'full-frontal' on OnlyFans Show Caption Hide Caption Watch as All-American Rejects perform surprise show Less than 30 hours after the show was announced, hundreds attended the All-American Rejects' surprise show in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The All-American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter wants to bare it all. The lead singer of the emo pop-rock band is starting an OnlyFans, he reveals. He's coy on the details, though, telling GQ in an interview published June 4 that fans can "expect full-frontal rock and roll with all access" on the risqué content site. "The All-American Rejects are behind me doing it, and it's really nice to be supported by my band in this wild adventure of 2025 for us," Ritter said, noting the band's viral house party shows and new album have put a battery in their back. "I don't think anybody would have expected the All-American Rejects to make a ripple in the water ever again." Ritter previously told USA TODAY that their house party tour – a string of impromptu concerts in everywhere from backyards to barns – started as a "rite of passage moment" shared with University of Southern California students. "It feels incredible and indescribable right now. It's from this hope to have something to say again as a band and present to an audience we didn't resonate with anywhere but radio and MTV," he said. "To be able to put out new music and find our footing as a band with this activation, I'm so beside myself with gratitude." All-American Rejects singer answers burning questions about those viral pop-up shows The momentum has inspired a unique way of getting more plugged in, with OnlyFans. "The excitement behind this whole thing is like, 'Where else can we be disruptive?' We've always been a band who's got a tongue bursting through the cheek when it comes to our music. So why not ..." he told GQ, making an explicit joke suggesting the page would include nudity. But Ritter doesn't actually suggest NSFW content would be included in his subscription; instead, he seems to be offering a way for All-American Rejects followers to connect with the band unfiltered and outside of traditional platforms, including concerts and social media. "It's a platform that is offering an experience where the artist can set the price, and it's artists-to-fans," Ritter told the outlet, highlighting OnlyFans' innocent start before explicit content took over. "There's no middleman, there's no subscription costs." As for Ritter's account, "maybe you'll pay 69 cents just because we're little cheeky cats." The band recently released "Sandbox" and "Easy Come, Easy Go," the first two singles from their first album in almost 14 years. They will tour more conventionally starting Aug. 10 as openers on the Jonas Brothers' stadium tour. The singer lamented the price of being a music fan today. "Some of these concerts are like $300, and then in order to get the closer experience, the tier system goes through the roof," Ritter said. "We're not trying to offer a VIP meet and greet that you just empty your account and max out a credit card. I heard some people have credit cards now just for their concert expenditures. Like, what ... ?" The frontman appeared dismayed by the state of hyper-commercialization in music. "When art becomes content, you are commodifying inspiration, and you are destroying our culture by not sincerely approaching your gift," he said. "All I can do, as the elder statesman, man, is just sit back and say, 'How can we scream in this vacuum for the kid in his garage?'" Contributing: Melissa Ruggieri
