Netflix Picks Up Limited Series 'Enigma Variations' Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Netflix has today given a series order to the original limited series Enigma Variations starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter, 28 Years Later). An episode count and premiere date window were not immediately announced.





Based on the novel by André Aciman, the series will depict a man (Taylor-Johnson) remade by the lovers who ignite and undo him over the course of 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?

Amanda Kate Shuman developed the series and will serve as showrunner. She will executive produce with Aciman, Michael Ellenberg, Lindsey Springer, Monica Levinson and director Oliver Hermanus. Media Res will produce.
