Netflix Orders ‘Enigma Variations’ Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (28 Years Later, Nosferatu) is ready to headline in Enigma Variationsa restricted collection greenlighted by Netflix based mostly on Call Me By Your Name writer André Aciman’s bestselling novel. In the mission, from tv studio Media Res, he succeeds Jeremy Allen White who was originally attached to star.
Written by Amanda Kate Shuman (The Wheel of Time) and to be directed by Oliver Hermanus (The History of Sound), Enigma Variations stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Paul, a person remade by the lovers who ignite and undo him throughout ten transformative years. It’s an intimate but sweeping portrait of masculinity, sexuality, and fashionable love—and in a world of countless decisions, it asks the query: will we all know once we’ve discovered the one?
Like within the e book, Paul is sexually fluid as he alternates between a male and a feminine associate.
Shuman, who serves as showrunner, government produces alongside Hermanus in addition to Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res, Aciman and Monica Levinson (Love Story: JFK Jr. And Carolyn Bessette). Media Res is the studio.
Enigma Variations was set up on Netflix more than a year ago in a aggressive scenario with White hooked up to star and government produce. He left the mission on the finish of 2025. A casting seek for a substitute was launched, with Taylor-Johnson coming into denials quickly thereafter.
This marks the American collection debut for English actor Taylor-Johnson who has a number of motion pictures developing, Werwulf, Blood On Snow and Cry To Heaven. He is repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners, WME and Sloan Offer Weber & Dern. Shuman is repped by UTA and HJTH. Levinson is repped by CAA.
Media Res has developing Season 5 of The Morning Show for Apple TV; The Miniature Wifestarring Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen, for Peacock; The Dealerstarring Jessica Chastain and Adam Driver, for Apple TV; The Chain for HBO; and drama pilot Durango for Hulu.
