Rachel Weisz Set to Star in VLADIMIR and Dark Comedy Limited Series at Netflix
Netflix is moving forward with a new limited series project titled Vladimir, which will star Rachel Weisz, who is also an executive producer on the project.
In Vladimir, “a woman’s (Weisz) life unravels, she becomes obsessed with her captivating new colleague. Full of sexy secrets and dark humor, the series is about what happens when a woman goes hell-bent to turn her fantasies into reality.”
The series was created by Julia May Jonas based on her novel of the same name, and it comes from the same studio behind Nobody Wants This. Executive producer Kate Robin (One Mississippi, The Affair) serves as showrunner.
Tracey Pakosta, Netflix’s VP, Comedy Series said in a statement: “With Kate Robin’s expertise in crafting layered, darkly comedic female stories, a script that deftly examines the complexity of attraction and moral ambiguities, and the incomparable Rachel Weisz leading the cast, this project is a powerhouse collaboration of talented women. We can’t wait for our fans to be as obsessed with Vladimir as we are.”
Writer and producer Sharon Horgan said in a statement: “I fell in love with Julia’s writing from the very first paragraph. I feel very lucky and incredibly excited for Merman to bring Vladimir to life alongside Small Dog. Getting to partner with Netflix and have Rachel attached is a thrill and testament to the brilliance of the scripts.”
This seems like it’ll be another solid project for Weisz to take on.
