Julia Garner, who performed with Madonna during her Celebration Tour in December 2023, is likely to portray Madonna if available.

This project has been in discussions for some time, highlighting Madonna's ongoing influence and legacy in the music industry.

In addition to the series, Madonna is also working on new music, specifically a sequel to her 2005 album 'Confessions on a Dance Floor', produced by Stuart Price.

Madonna expressed renewed motivation after spending time with creative friends, emphasizing the importance of being fearless in her artistic endeavors.

The miniseries will allow for a more comprehensive depiction of Madonna's career, including her controversial works like the 'Sex' book.

Madonna is recognized as the best-selling female music artist of all time, having sold 400 million records globally, and has significantly influenced society and pop culture since the early 1980s.

Her career began when she moved to New York with only $35, and she has since starred in films like 'Evita' and 'A League of Their Own,' showcasing her versatility as an actress.

Hollywood studios have struggled to produce the film due to her demands for full creative authority, despite the potential for a successful biopic given her iconic status.

Madonna is represented by CAA, Maverick Management, Untitled Entertainment, and Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, while Levy and 21 Laps are represented by WME and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.

On May 12, 2025, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Madonna is collaborating with director Shawn Levy to produce a Netflix limited series about her life and career, following a previously stalled biopic project.

Despite the biopic's cancellation, Madonna expressed her ongoing enthusiasm for the project, sharing photos with Garner on social media.

The series aims to explore the iconic pop star's journey and impact on music and culture, although details regarding the storyline and casting remain undisclosed.
