TVLine Items: Jeremy Allen White’s Bisexual Netflix Drama, The Empress Sets Final Season and More

Jeremy Allen White is stepping out of the kitchen for the Netflix limited series Enigma Variations. The Emmy Award-winning Bear actor is attached to star in and executive-produce the adaptation of André Aciman’s novel, our sister site Variety reports. The project, which is currently only in the development stage, will be written and showrun by Amanda Kate Shuman (The Wheel of Time, Berlin Station). Aciman also wrote the novel Call Me by Your Name, which was adapted into the 2017 movie starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer.

Star-Studded Cast and Development

The official book description for Enigma Variations follows: “Enigma Variations charts the life of a man named Paul, whose loves remain as consuming and as covetous throughout his adulthood as they were in his adolescence. Whether the setting is southern Italy, where as a boy he has a crush on his parents’ cabinetmaker, or a snowbound campus in New England, where his enduring passion for a girl he’ll meet again and again over the years is punctuated by anonymous encounters with men—whether he’s on a tennis court in Central Park or on a New York sidewalk in early spring. Paul’s attachments are ungraspable, transient, and forever underwritten by raw desire. Ahead of every step Paul takes, his hopes, denials, fears, and regrets are always ready to lay their traps. Yet the dream of love lingers. We may not always know what we want. We may remain enigmas to ourselves and to others. But sooner or later, we discover who we’ve always known we were.”

Plot and Themes

Exploring themes of love, desire, and identity, Enigma Variations delves into the complexities of human relationships, as Paul navigates his unrequited love for a girl and anonymous encounters with men. The novel’s relevance in today’s society lies in its portrayal of the universal human desire for connection and understanding, despite the challenges and uncertainties that come with it.

Adaptation and Release

Netflix’s plans for the limited series are still under wraps, but with Jeremy Allen White on board, fans can expect a thought-provoking and emotionally charged exploration of the human experience. The release date has not been announced, but with production underway, we can expect Enigma Variations to arrive on Netflix in the near future.
