Margot Robbie is currently working to approve a new television series that retells Shakespearean stories from the perspective of women.
The 10-episode series will be led by an all-women creative team. Margot previously expressed the desire to help give women a platform with her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, in 2014. According to the Guardian, Margot told Australia’s Associated Press:
“I’m taking a lot of meetings with the lesser-known talent at the moment. The indie film-makers, first- and second-time film-makers, mainly women. I’m in a lovely position where I can actually help get things greenlit so I want to work with people who we haven’t seen yet.”
Each episode will focus on a different Shakespearean play with a commentary on modern society. LuckyChap Entertainment said:
“We are thrilled about this Australian partnership as an opportunity to showcase unique, distinctly female voices in writing, and to demonstrate the high quality of the Australian film and television industry. The project will share diverse points of view, from writers representing the different cultures and areas within Australia, which many would not readily associate with works of Shakespeare.”
No news yet on a specific release date, but we hope it’s soon!
