Andrew Garfield and Jude Law appear nearly unrecognizable in recently released set images from the upcoming Apple TV series Wild Things. Announced in March 2025, Wild Things explores the lives of the famous illusionists Siegfried and Roy, whose groundbreaking magic performances featuring white tigers made them Las Vegas icons. The series aims to uncover the complexity of their partnership and the blurred lines between illusion and reality.
The Series’ Focus on the Illusionists’ Troubled Relationship
The eight-episode drama centers on the intense relationship between Siegfried and Roy, delving into the personal and professional sacrifices that accompanied their spectacular shows. The narrative escalates toward a tragic event that ultimately halts their legendary performances and introduces a mystery tied to their last show in Las Vegas. Andrew Garfield portrays Roy, with Jude Law taking on the role of Siegfried, both actors also serving as executive producers for the project.
New Set Photos Highlight Dramatic Character Transformations
Set photographs shared by Jeff Sneider on social media showcase Garfield and Law in character. Garfield is seen wearing a royal-blue suit jacket over a white shirt with a slim chain necklace, a black beret, and light facial hair, markedly altering his appearance. Law’s transformation is even more pronounced; he sports long blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and a black blazer paired with a gray patterned scarf, accentuated by a cross necklace. These visuals underscore the actors’ commitment to authentically portraying the illusionists.
Notable Cast and Creative Team Behind Wild Things
Alongside Garfield and Law, the cast includes Justin Bartha, Cameron Britton, Bill Heck, Justin Theroux, Jessica Madsen, Brett Gelman, and Darius Fraser. The series is produced by Apple Studios, with John Hoffman—the Emmy-nominated co-creator of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building—serving as showrunner and executive producer. Matt Shakman, known for directing The Fantastic Four: First Steps, will also direct the pilot and act as an executive producer, bringing significant experience to the production.
Series Source Material and Historical Context
Wild Things is adapted from a podcast of the same name, providing rich source material for viewers and actors alike. The story includes the complex history of Siegfried and Roy’s romantic relationship as well as the infamous incident in which Roy was severely injured by a white tiger during a live performance. This accident abruptly ended their career together and remains a pivotal moment in their narrative. Roy tragically died in November 2020 from complications related to COVID-19, with Siegfried passing away shortly after in January 2021.
Anticipation Builds as Premiere Date Remains Unannounced
Although Wild Things has yet to announce an official release date, anticipation is growing due to its high-profile cast and deeply dramatic premise. By exploring themes of illusion, identity, and tragedy through the lens of two iconic magicians, the series has the potential to attract audiences interested in biographical drama and mysteries rooted in real events. Garfield and Law’s transformations, coupled with the experienced production team, suggest a gripping retelling of Siegfried and Roy’s complex legacy.
