With most of its trademark shows having come to an end, Netflix is on the hunt to fetch golden talent and elevate the menu. Enigma Variations is one of the first names to come through during this refurbishing period. Starring Jeremy Allen White, the Netflix show will be based on Call Me By Your Name writer André Aciman's novel and currently stands in early development as per Variety.

The Bear actor will not only be starring in this dynamic series but will also be the executive producer alongside Amanda Kate Shuman and Oliver Hermanus. While Netflix does not have a great repo when it comes to book adaptations, with the writer himself set to executive produce the series, there is not a lot to worry about.
