What’s Vladimir About?
Set over eight episodes, Vladimir follows a woman whose carefully composed life begins to unravel. As her inner world grows increasingly chaotic, she finds herself consumed by a magnetic new colleague. What starts as fascination spirals into obsession, sex, secrecy, and consequences that ripple far beyond fantasy. The series promises sharp wit, murky morality, and no shortage of messy ambition.
Behind the Scenes
The creative team backing Vladimir is just as stacked as its cast. The pilot and two additional episodes will be directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, the Oscar-nominated duo known for American Splendor and Fleishman Is in Trouble. They also executive produce alongside Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters), Stacy Greenberg and Kira Carstensen (for Merman), and Jason Winer and Jon Radler (for Small Dog Picture Company). Jonas, who wrote the source novel, serves as writer, creator, and executive producer.
