Will Ferrell Reveals Plan to Adapt His ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ Movie for Broadway


Will Ferrell has revealed he’s working on a Broadway adaptation of his 2020 comedy about the Eurovision Song Contest.

Appearing on the Graham Norton Show alongside fellow guest Olly Alexander — also a Eurovision veteran — the actor talked about his love of the annual song competition, which led to co-writing and co-starring in the Netflix film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. The movie starred Ferrell and Rachel McAdams as a pair of small-town Icelandic singers who manage to represent their country at the Eurovision competition as a duo called Fire Saga. Five years later, Ferrell — who attended the 2024 Eurovision in Malmo, Sweden — told Norton that they’ve already enlisted talent to help bring the comedy to the stage.
