Will Ferrell Adapting Eurovision Film for Broadway

Will Ferrell, Harper Steele, and Anthony King are developing a Broadway musical based on the 2020 Netflix film 'Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga,' which Ferrell co-wrote and starred in. The musical will feature new songs by Savan Kotecha and be directed by Tony winner Alex Timbers. The project has received official backing from the Eurovision Song Contest, whose director praised the creative team and hopes the adaptation will spread Eurovision's joy globally as its 70th anniversary approaches in 2026. The original film centers on Icelandic musicians competing at Eurovision and is known for its uplifting impact and Oscar-nominated song 'Husavik (My Hometown).' No production timeline has been set, but the creators are excited to bring the event's heart and spectacle to the stage. The musical is designed to appeal to both fans of the film and Eurovision, which drew over 166 million viewers in its most recent edition.
