Aaron Taylor-Johnson (28 Years Later, Nosferatu) will star in Enigma Variations, a limited series greenlighted by Netflix based on André Aciman's bestselling novel, Deadline reported, adding that he succeeds Jeremy Allen White, who was originally going 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 man remade by the lovers who ignite and undo him across ten transformative years. It's an intimate yet sweeping portrait of masculinity, sexuality, and modern love--and in a world of endless choices, it asks the question: will we know when we've found the one?" Deadline wrote.
Shuman is the showrunner, and executive produces alongside Hermanus as well as Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res, Aciman, and Monica Levinson (Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette). Media Res is the studio.
