Casting News: Jude Law And Andrew Garfield Are Siegfried & Roy, And More

For their next act, Jude Law and Andrew Garfield are pulling off a magic trick.

The actors will star as Siegfried & Roy in the Apple TV+ limited series Wild Things, based on the podcast of the same name about the infamous magicians.

The eight-episode series, showrun by John Hoffman (Only Murders in the Building), "tells the wild ride relationship tale of two of the greatest showman-magicians in history who, along with their white tigers, are tasked with turning Sin City into a family-friendly destination," reads the official synopsis. "The duo push the concept of illusion versus reality to the extreme, personally and professionally, until tragedy reframes and opens a mystery surrounding their last fateful Las Vegas show."

Law (The Young Pope, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew) will star as Siegfried, while Garfield (Under the Banner of Heaven) will portray Roy. The duo will also serve as executive producers.
