Following decades of rumors and a prior shelved film adaptation, Madonna has formally announced plans to share her life’s tale on screen through an upcoming miniseries, with Shawn Levy at the helm for Netflix. Here are the latest updates on this highly anticipated production.
From Biopic to Limited Series: A Second Chance for Madonna’s Story
Madonna’s quest to bring her personal tale to the big screen has been a protracted and intricate process. Initially slated for release in 2023, her biopic, starring Julia Garner, was suddenly put on hold, leaving fans speculating about its future. Despite this setback, Madonna’s determination to share her story persisted. Now, with the guidance of renowned director Shawn Levy, her life story will be reimagined as a limited series on Netflix.
Julia Garner’s Possible Return
Despite the initial biopic being scrapped, there are whispers that Julia Garner, initially set to portray Madonna, could still be a part of this upcoming series. Their recent appearance together during Madonna’s Celebration Tour in 2023 has fueled speculation about their ongoing partnership, implying they might be working together on this project.
Based on reports from Deadline, it appears that Julia Garner is strongly being considered for the role of portraying Madonna in her upcoming Netflix miniseries.

A Story By The Woman Who Lived It
Madonna has consistently made it known that she wants to dictate the account of her life’s tale. Previously, she expressed that if anyone were to narrate her story, it should be herself. This limited series gives her a chance to fulfill this ambition, offering a more personal and truthful depiction of her journey to worldwide stardom, her hardships, and her impact.
It’s invigorating to observe Madonna asserting control over her personal narrative, particularly when biographical films are frequently under scrutiny for being exploitative or distorted. For instance, Marilyn Monroe made it clear during her lifetime that she didn’t want her life depicted on screen posthumally, but the 2022 film “Blonde” was still produced, drawing criticism for presenting her as a sexually objectified victim lacking autonomy. However, Madonna’s choice to tell her own story underscores an endeavor towards more truthful, self-determined portrayals of influential women in the media.
No Official Release Date Yet
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m hyped about this new series that’s just getting started. Though the specifics are being kept hush-hush for now, it seems like we’ll be following Madonna’s journey from an underground New York musician to a world-renowned superstar. No official launch date has been announced yet, but I can’t wait to see it as part of Netflix’s upcoming roster.
