Wild Things on Apple TV+: Everything We Know

Apple TV+ is turning its hit 2022 podcast Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy into a limited series. The show tracks the famed illusionists’ rise in Las Vegas, their signature white tigers, and the onstage tragedy that ended their act. Here is a clear rundown of the essentials so far.

When will 'Wild Things' release?

Apple has not announced a premiere date. The series was set to start production in fall 2025. That points to a 2026 release at the earliest, but nothing is official. Keep expectations flexible until Apple confirms a date.

'Wild Things' cast and characters

  • Jude Law as Siegfried Fischbacher

  • Andrew Garfield as Roy Horn
    Both actors also serve as executive producers.

Recent additions:

  • Justin Theroux as Steve Wynn, the casino mogul who brought the duo to The Mirage.

  • Darius Fraser as Toney Mitchell, a dancer who becomes part of the show and their inner circle in a recurring role.

What the series is about

Siegfried and Roy

Wild Things follows Siegfried and Roy as they help shift Las Vegas into a family friendly destination while blurring the line between illusion and reality. The story builds toward the tiger attack that ended their run and opens a larger mystery around their final show. Expect a character driven drama rather than a pure biopic.

Creative team and episode count

  • Showrunner, writer, executive producer: John Hoffman (Only Murders in the Building)

  • Pilot director and executive producer: Matt Shakman (WandaVision, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters)

  • Executive producers: Brian Grazer, Kristen Zolner, Natalie Berkus for Imagine Entertainment, Tony Leondis, Kathy Ciric, plus Law and Garfield

  • Based on: Apple Original Podcast Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy from At Will Media, created by Will Malnati and written and narrated by Steven Leckart

  • Format: Eight one hour episodes

Production status

Apple said production would begin in fall 2025. No public guidance yet on filming locations or wrap. There is no trailer at this time.

How to watch

When it arrives, Wild Things will stream on Apple TV+. The companion podcast is already available if you want background before the series drops.
