Key Highlights
- Already envisaged as running for at least three seasons, Gomorrah – The Origins takes audiences back to 1977 Naples, tracking the criminal coming-of-age of the young Pietro Savastano, a “tough city kid who grew up in the poorest parts of Secondigliano.” Produced by Sky Studios and Cattleya, the show will expand the world of one of Sky’s most popular foreign dramas, inspired by Roberto Saviano’s bestselling non-fiction novel.
- Across five seasons and more than 50 episodes, Gomorrah was a huge hit for the pay-TV giant, putting it on the map in Italy.
- Sky may not make an enormous amount of original content from the nation anymore, but if The Origins can attract the kind of ratings and awards buzz of its predecessor, that will go a long way to keeping its name relevant in the original content game.
- The prequel stars Luca Lubrano, Francesco Pellegrino and Flavio Furno.
