"Adapted from Julia May Jonas' critically acclaimed debut novel, Vladimir follows an unnamed middle-aged woman (Weisz), a writer, professor, wife, and mother who feels increasingly dissatisfied with her own life. Her husband (Slattery), also a professor, has been accused of inappropriate relationships with former students and is under review. This didn't come as a shock to her, as they have an open marriage, but she dislikes the personal scrutiny it has brought."
"The series reportedly leans hard into subjectivity. Much of what we see is filtered through the eyes of an unreliable narrator (the unnamed woman). Her fantasies bloom in even the most mundane moments, like while she's cooking dinner or attending faculty meetings. "Full of sexy secrets, dark humor, and complex characters, Vladimir is about what happens when a woman is hell-bent on turning her fantasies into reality," describes Tudum."
Vladimir is an eight-episode dramedy set to premiere on Netflix on March 5. The series adapts Julia May Jonas' debut novel and centers on an unnamed middle-aged woman who is a writer, professor, wife, and mother growing increasingly dissatisfied with her life. Her husband, a professor, faces accusations of inappropriate relationships with former students and is under review, and the couple maintains an open marriage. A younger colleague, Vladimir, emerges with buzz around his debut novel, triggering an all-consuming obsession that blurs fantasy and reality. Much of the story is filtered through the woman's unreliable perspective, with fantasies intruding into mundane moments.
