Jude Law and Andrew Garfield will star in “Wild Things,” a new limited series from Apple TV+ centered around famed magicians Sigfried and Roy. The show stems from the Apple Original Podcast of the same name.

John Hoffman, a six-time Emmy Award nominee known for “Only Murders in the Building” and “Grace and Frankie,” will serve as writer, showrunner and executive producer. The series will consist of eight episodes and tell “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,” per the show’s official logline. “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 will star as Siegfried and Garfield will star as Roy. Both actors will also serve as executive producers on the series with production set to begin this fall.

Matt Shakman (“Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” “WandaVision”) will direct the pilot and serve as an executive producer.
