Madonna teases turning her biopic into TV series

Madonna could turn biopic into TV series

Madonna has teased the idea of turning her biopic into a TV series.

The 66-year-old Queen of Pop has been working on 'Who's That Girl' - a film about her life and career - for four years now, but she is considering other options after going back and forth with "producers and agents".

On Monday (18.11.24), she wrote on Instagram: "After struggling for days in LA, listening to producers and agents tell me why I couldn’t make my film — (I been working on it for 4 years!!!) downsize-down scale – think smaller – they say — I realised that everything in my life is going to be challenged.

"No easy rides for me. I guess I should be grateful.. It forces me to think outside the box. I did not have a normal life.

"I cannot make this in the normal way… Spending time with my creative friends was just the fuel I needed to keep going!

"We all agreed that we need to be even more fearless!!! Art = Survival. We cannot shrink and make ourselves smaller.

"If you want something badly enough in life - the whole universe will conspire to help you get it. Should I make the story of my life into a series or a feature film? Think before you answer!! (sic)"

The project had been shelved for a while having been scrapped in January 2023, but over the summer Madonna said the film was back in the works.

Back in 2022, she opened up on the work she was putting into the movie, insisting that "no one's going to tell her story but her".

She added to Variety at the time: "I have a very long script that is really hard for me to make shorter. I’ve been whittling away at it, but it’s like hacking off my limbs.”
