Fans who have been following Madonna's career closely know that the pop icon has dedicated significant effort in recent years to developing her own biopic film. She planned to direct the project herself, co-write the script, and personally auditioned a host of Hollywood's rising stars, including Sydney Sweeney and Florence Pugh. While that feature film has yet to materialize, Madonna is now embarking on another biographical project with Netflix.

According to an exclusive report from Deadline today, Madonna is developing a biographical limited series with Netflix. Shawn Levy, the acclaimed director behind "Deadpool & Wolverine" and the "Night at the Museum" trilogy, is set to executive produce alongside Madonna.

Sources indicate that Levy and Madonna have been discussing this venture for some time. They have now decided to re-conceptualize the project from the ground up, and the specific period of Madonna's life it will focus on has not yet been determined. Deadline also emphasized that this Netflix series is a separate endeavor from the Universal Pictures biopic Madonna was previously slated to direct, and Julia Garner, who was cast to play Madonna in that film, remains attached to the Universal project.
