Jeremy Allen White Stars in Enigma Variations Series

Jeremy Allen White, known for his role in The Bear, is set to star in and executive produce a Netflix series adaptation of André Aciman's novel Enigma Variations. This limited series will explore the life of a bisexual man named Paul, chronicling his romantic experiences with both men and women. The series is being developed by Amanda Kate Shuman, who will serve as writer and showrunner, and Oliver Hermanus will direct. Enigma Variations follows the success of Aciman's Call Me By Your Name, which was adapted into an Oscar-nominated film. While the project is in its early stages, it has already sparked mixed reactions, particularly regarding the casting of a straight actor for a bisexual role. White's involvement comes amid a busy schedule, including roles in a Bruce Springsteen biopic and an upcoming Star Wars project.
