Netflix has set the global premiere date for The Leopard, an epic period drama series from Italy starring Kim Rossi Stuart.
Based on The Leopard by Giuseppe Di Lampedusa, considered by many to be one of the greatest Italian novels of all time, the new period drama series, The Leopard (Il Gattopardo), is a dazzlingly sensuous epic, set against the backdrop of revolution in 1860s Sicily.
At its heart is Don Fabrizio Corbera (Kim Rossi Stuart, Everybody Loves Diamonds, Maltese: The Mafia Detective) the Prince of Salina, who leads a life surrounded by beauty and privilege. But as Italy moves towards unification and the old aristocratic order is threatened, he realizes that his family’s future is in jeopardy. New allegiances must be made, each one a threat to his principles.
Eventually Don Fabrizio is faced with an impossible choice: He has the power to engineer a marriage, between the rich and beautiful Angelica (Deva Cassel, The Beautiful Summer) and his nephew, Tancredi (Saul Nanni, Made in Italy), that could secure his family’s legacy, but doing so he would break his favorite daughter, Concetta’s (Benedetta Porcaroli, Baby), heart.
The Leopard, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Wednesday, March 5, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.)
The cast of the six-episode series also includes Francesco Colella (Christian), Astrid Meloni (Makari), Marcus Marcelli (The Lions of Sicily), and Paolo Calabresi (The Vertical Line), amongst others.
