‘The Bear‘ Season 4 & ‘Ironheart‘ Added To Italian Global Series Festival
The first two eps of The Bear Season 4 and Ironheart will screen at next week’s inaugural Italian Global Series Festival (IGSF), while Prime Video’s The Assassin has been added to competition. The Bear and Ironheart will premiere on the same dates as their streaming debuts via a set of Special Screenings. Both are highly-anticipated and will be two of Disney+’s biggest launches of the year. Meanwhile, The Asssassin, which stars Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore and comes from the Williams brothers, has been added to the international competition strand along with Portugal’s The Outlaws, Finnish comedy Sunset Grove, France’s Extra and Brazilian thriller series Perfect Days. The IGSF takes place next week and will be hosting a David Lynch retrospective along with a preview screening of Netflix’s Lena Dunham series Too Much and Squid Game Season 3. Artistic Director Marco Spagnoli said: “These additions to an already fantastic lineup speaks to the extraordinary range and quality we aim to present at the Italian Global Series Festival. The festival is not just a celebration of great storytelling, but a testament to the cultural and creative power of television on a global scale.”
