Shakil Hussain Joins Apple Tv+ Limited Series 'Wild Things'

British actor Shakil Hussain has joined the cast of Apple TV+’s upcoming limited series 'Wild Things', based on the Apple Original Podcast 'Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy'.

Apple announced the eight-episode drama in 2025, with Jude Law set to play Siegfried Fischbacher and Andrew Garfield set to play Roy Horn. John Hoffman writes, showruns and executive produces the series; Matt Shakman directs the pilot and executive produces alongside Hoffman and Brian Grazer.

Hussain joins the project in the role of Dr. Harris, according to a release submitted by Scribe Services Public Relations.

“I’m thrilled to be a part of this amazing cast,” Hussain said. “I had actually auditioned for a different role a few months earlier and made it down to the final two. In the end, they went with the other guy — who is a fantastic actor, by the way. But they really liked my work and remembered me when the role of Dr. Harris became available.”

Hussain’s screen work includes 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage', 'Boat Story', 'Riches', 'Emmerdale' and 'Andor'. He is represented in the U.K. by United Agents.

'Wild Things' follows the partnership of the Las Vegas entertainers Siegfried & Roy and the spectacle they built around their performances with white tigers.
