The Beatles Biopic Series Casts Leading Wives for 2028 Release

The upcoming Beatles biopic, directed by Sam Mendes and set for simultaneous release in April 2028, will be a four-part cinematic series with each film focusing on a different band member's perspective. The cast now officially includes Mia McKenna-Bruce as Ringo Starr's wife Maureen Starkey, Saoirse Ronan as Paul McCartney's wife Linda McCartney, Anna Sawai as John Lennon's wife Yoko Ono, and Aimee Lou Wood as George Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd. These four women, who were pivotal figures in the Beatles' lives, are portrayed by highly acclaimed actresses, reflecting the significance of their roles in the band's story. The project represents the first authorized use of the Beatles' life stories and music in scripted films, with Sony Pictures financing and distributing. Mendes emphasized the uniqueness of these women and the boldness of the project, which aims to be a major cinematic event encouraging audiences back to theaters. The films will collectively narrate the Beatles' rise to fame and eventual breakup, with major roles also cast for the band members themselves: Harris Dickinson as Lennon, Paul Mescal as McCartney, Barry Keoghan as Starr, and Joseph Quinn as Harrison.
