What is Vladimir about?
Vladimir is based on Julia May Jonas’ novel of the same name, and according to the logline, it follows a passionate but reckless professor as her world begins to unravel, finding her dangerously fixated on her charismatic new colleague. What follows is a tale filled with seduction and obsession as they collide, creating a provocative limited series filled with forbidden desires, razor-sharp wit, and compellingly unpredictable characters. As boundaries blur and secrets simmer, she’ll risk everything to bring her fantasies to life.
What has been said about Vladimir?
“[Vladimir] explores what women feel like they’re allowed to desire, and how they’re allowed to desire,” Julia May Jonas told Netflix’s Tudum.
“It’s like a heightened fairy tale,” Rachel Weisz added in a statement to Tudum, “[The protagonist’s] fantasy is about the power of desire. The invigorating, stimulating, inspiring, and revivifying feeling that she gets from her obsession with Vlad. What it’s about is coming back to life in a certain way that had lain dormant for some time.”
Who made Vladimir?
Vladimir is created for television, written, and executive produced by author Julia May Jonas. Joining Jonas as executive producers are Weisz, Sharon Horgan, Stacy Greenberg, Kira Carstensen, Jason Winer, Jon Radler, Shari Springer Berman, and Robert Pulcini. Meanwhile, Shari Springer Berman, Robert Pulcini, Francesca Gregorini, and Josephine Bornebusch all serve as directors on the series that was filmed in Toronto, Canada.
