From acclaimed Emmy-nominated director Rebecca Chaiklin (“Tiger King”) and Emmy-winning producer Chris Smith (“FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened,” “Wham!”)
“When I saw the Vanity Fair article about a princess and a shaman falling in love, it instantly caught my eye,” Chaiklin said in a statement. “Märtha Louise and Shaman Durek were two completely unexpected, wild, and charismatic characters from totally different worlds, navigating a swirl of controversy and fighting for love. It was a great fish-out-of-water story – and they were so funny. So I just had to convince them (and the spirits) that I was “lit” enough to be the one to tell their story.”
