TVLine Items: Siegfried & Roy Series, Treat Williams Joins Feud and More

Apple TV+ is looking to bring some magic to its lineup with a limited series based on the podcast Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy, our sister site Variety reports.

Only Murders in the Building co-creator John Hoffman will write and exec-produce the half-hour project, which is in the development stage. It will be “told from various perspectives and is about two of the greatest showman-magicians in history who push the concept of illusion versus reality to the extreme — until tragedy reframes and opens up an entirely new mystery surrounding their last fateful Las Vegas show,” per the official logline.
