HEDY LAMARR: Apple TV+ Orders Limited Series From Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot is stepping into the shoes of a real-life Wonder Woman.

Apple TV+ has ordered a new limited series based on the life of Hedy Lamarr (called, appropriately, HEDY LAMARR), which will be produced by and star Gadot. THE AFFAIR’s Sarah Treem will pen the series.

According to Apple TV+, “Hailed as “the most beautiful woman in the world,” Hedy Lamarr was first exalted and iconized, then destroyed and eventually forgotten by American audiences, all the while keeping her brilliant mind active through a series of inventions, one of which became the basis for the spread spectrum technology we use today. The series will follow the incredible life-story of Hollywood glamour girl, spanning 30 years from Hedy’s daring escape from pre-war Vienna; to her meteoric rise in the Golden Age of Hollywood; to her fall and eventual disgrace at the dawn of the Cold War. An epic tale of an immigrant woman both ahead of her time and very much victim to it.”

Gadot and producing partner Jaron Varsano came up with the idea of the series, and brought it to Treem, who officially created it, and producer Warren Littlefield.

The series was originally in the works at Showtime.
