Leo Woodall (One Day, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy) is set to lead the new Netflix limited series, Vladimir, adapted from Julia May Jonas’s acclaimed novel. He stars as the titular character opposite Rachel Weisz.
In the series Vladimir, written by Jonas, as a woman’s (Weisz) life unravels, she becomes obsessed with her captivating new colleague (Woodall). 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 8-episode project was greenlit at the streamer in March with Weisz attached to star and executive opposite creator and writer Jonas, who also authored the novel the limited series is based on. In addition to Jonas and Weisz, executive producers include Sharon Horgan, Stacy Greenberg and Kira Carstensen (Merman), Jason Winer and Jon Radler for Small Dog Picture Company, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini. 20th Television, where Small Dog had an overall deal, is the studio.
