All those photos<\/a>\u00a0and videos<\/a> from the set of The Studio season 2 showing Madonna and Julia Garner together? It turns out there’s a definite method behind their madness, and it has to do with Madonna’s now-abandoned biopic.<\/p>\n

You may recall that Madonna was going to direct a movie about her life, with Julia starring as the Material Girl. The project was shelved in 2023, and Madonna subsequently launched her Celebration Tour. But\u00a0Variety, citing sources<\/a>, reports that a major plot point in The Studio season 2 will involve the nonexistent film.<\/p>\n

The show’s Continental Studios, the fictional company run by Seth Rogen’s character, will be portrayed as the producer of the project. In that capacity, it will\u00a0bring the Madonna biopic to the Venice Film Festival. Madonna and Julia also attend in order to promote the film and drum up Oscar buzz. Madonna won’t be the film’s director in the fictional world of the show, however. The whole thing will play out over two episodes,\u00a0Variety reports.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Netflix is reportedly developing a TV series about Madonna’s life that’s unrelated to the movie;\u00a0Julia isn’t part of that project.<\/p>\n
