Apple TV+ is transforming the popular podcast Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy into a dramatic limited series. The story follows the world-famous illusionists as they rise to fame in Las Vegas, reinvent live entertainment, and face a tragic turning point.
The eight-episode series will show how Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn created dazzling stage shows that helped shape Las Vegas into a family destination. Their glittering careers came to a halt after a tiger attack in 2003 that ended their performances and changed public perception forever.
Big Names Bring the Story to Life
Jude Law takes on the role of Siegfried, while Andrew Garfield plays Roy. Law is known for The Young Pope and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and Garfield earned praise for Tick, Tick… Boom! and Under the Banner of Heaven.
John Robert Hoffman, co-creator of Only Murders in the Building, will serve as showrunner. Matt Shakman, the director behind WandaVision and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, will direct the pilot episode.
Together, this creative team plans to explore the mystery, fame, and personal drama behind the duo’s public image.
