The new Italian Netflix originals to hit screens soon are: Curon, a supernatural drama series set in a northern Italian town; Three Steps Over Heaven, a young adult adaptation; and Fedeltà, a drama adaptation of the bestselling novel by Marco Missiroli which follows the journey of a couple from Milan.
Other previously announced Italian Netflix originals underway include: the first season of Luna Nera, a series based on an unpublished manuscript about women accused of witchcraft in 17th-century Italy; Lo Spietato, directed by Renato De Maria and toplining local A-lister Riccardo Scamarcio as a Milanese gangster; and an adaptation of Italian animated franchise Winx Club into a live-action TV series.
Netflix also has three Italian standup comedy originals in the works featuring Edoardo Ferrario, Francesco De Carlo and Saverio Raimondo.
Meanwhile, the second season of Baby, which tells the the story of two teen girls who start leading double lives in Rome’s underworld, is currently being filmed.
“Italy is a cradle of great storytellers and amazing talent, and our aim is to find those unique and very local voices that could resonate with TV lovers everywhere,” Kelly Luegenbiehl, Vice President of International Original Series for Europe and Africa, said in a statement.
“This new crop of projects are all very different and will all be shot across Italy. We’re deeply committed to the Italian creative community – and to the creative vision of the content creators we’re working with.”
