Andrew Garfield, Jude Law unrecognizable in first look of new series

Andrew Garfield and Jude Law have been spotted in dramatic first-look images on the set of Wild Things, the forthcoming Apple TV+ limited series in which they embody legendary Las Vegas magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn.

The Amazon production, based on the Apple Original Podcast Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy, chronicles the rise of the iconic duo from humble beginnings to headline performers in Sin City, blending larger-than-life stage spectacle with the complex professional and personal dynamics that defined their decades-long partnership.

In the newly shared first images circulating online, Law is virtually unrecognisable with platinum blonde hair and lavish stage attire befitting Siegfried’s flamboyant persona, while Garfield channels Roy with longer hair, distinctive eyewear and vibrant costume elements.

According to Daily Mail, the series promises to delve into Siegfried & Roy’s glittering career performing with white tigers and other exotic animals, exploring both the spectacle that made them global stars and the deeper challenges behind the curtain. 

Filming has been underway in Las Vegas, where the pair’s real-life acts were once a staple of the entertainment scene.

Wild Things is an eight-episode biographical drama produced by Apple Studios and Imagine Television, with both Garfield and Law serving not only as leads but also as executive producers. 

Moreover, the show is being guided by showrunner John Hoffman and director Matt Shakman, and is expected to offer a dramatic re-examination of one of Vegas’s most famous showbiz partnerships.

Although Apple TV+ has yet to announce a release date, industry insiders say anticipation is high for the series, which aims to re-introduce the legacy of Siegfried & Roy to a new generation of viewers.
