I’m going to be sticking with Apple TV+ for the foreseeable future as a result of they maintain impressing me, and Wild Things has undoubtedly caught my curiosity given its concentrate on late magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn.
A launch window hasn’t been confirmed, however we do know its primarily based on the Apple Original Podcast Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy, and that it is an eight-part sequence, which can dramatize their life and careers.
Why I’m excited for Wild Things
As talked about, I’ve all the time cherished stage magic whether or not it is the double act of Penn and Teller or the illusions of Derren Brown, and Siegfried and Roy have lengthy intrigued me.
Their story is certainly one that might make for an incredible drama given their controversies, equivalent to the actual fact they carried out with lions and tigers, a follow that was criticized by some circles. This all got here to a head when one in every of their lions attacked Roy, severely injuring him, and that is the type of present that I’m positive will open up loads of conversations.
The new Apple TV+ present “tells the wild journey relationship story of two of the best showman-magicians in historical past who, together with their white tigers, are tasked with turning Sin City right into a family-friendly vacation spot. The duo pushes the idea of phantasm versus actuality to the acute, personally and professionally, till tragedy reframes and opens a thriller surrounding their final fateful Las Vegas present,” in keeping with the streamer.
In 2024, we topped Apple TV+ as our Streaming Service of the Year and there is been lots to maintain me recently. As nicely as dropping a trailer for a brand new star-studded nightmarish thriller, they’ve additionally introduced that Jude Law and Andrew Garfield will step into the exhibits of the enduring showmen for Wild Things.
On high of all this, WandaVision (aka my favourite Marvel present)’s Matt Shakman is directing the pilot and serves as producer so I’m hoping we will add this to our greatest Apple TV+ exhibits.
