Jeremy Allen White, known for his role in 'The Bear,' is set to star and executive produce a new bisexual romance series for Netflix based on André Aciman's novel 'Enigma Variations.' This project marks a significant step in LGBTQ+ representation, as White takes on the role of Paul, the book's protagonist, whose romantic journey spans various countries and encounters.
'Enigma Variations' explores Paul's lifelong quest for love, detailing his experiences from childhood crushes in southern Italy to complex relationships in New England. The narrative captures the essence of desire and the complexities of identity, showcasing bisexuality in a nuanced manner.
Aciman, who previously adapted 'Call Me By Your Name' into a successful film, continues to champion bisexual representation in mainstream media. Amanda Kate Shuman is attached as writer and showrunner for the series, bringing her experience from 'The Blacklist' and 'The Wheel of Time.' While no release date has been announced, anticipation is high for this progressive take on love and identity.
With two Emmys and three Golden Globes under his belt, White's involvement promises to elevate the series, making it a noteworthy addition to Netflix's lineup.
