EXCLUSIVE: Here’s the first teaser trailer for anticipated series Gomorrah — The Origins, which will launch on Sky in early 2026.
The prequel to the hit mob crime saga is a six-part drama set in 1977 Naples tracking the criminal coming-of-age of the young Pietro Savastano.
The synopsis reads: “Pietro is a tough city kid who grew up in the poorest parts of Secondigliano. He and his friends survive any way they can, riding their mopeds around town and committing petty theft. But he has a big dream: to become like Angelo ‘A Sirena, the neighborhood’s “king.” When he manages to get in the graces of the young boss, he finds himself caught in a power game far beyond him. He ends up wondering whether this dark, violent criminal life is really what he wants or if his love for Imma can save him from such a fate.”
Produced by Sky Studios and Cattleya, the show will expand on one of Sky’s most popular foreign dramas, inspired by Roberto Saviano’s bestselling novel. Last year we revealed that the show is being envisaged as spanning at least three seasons.
The series is directed by Marco D’Amore, who helmed the first four episodes while also serving as co-writer and artistic supervisor. Francesco Ghiaccio directs the final two episodes. The series is created by Leonardo Fasoli, Maddalena Ravagli, and Roberto Saviano, and internationally distributed by Beta Film.
Starring are Luca Lubrano as the young and ambitious Pietro Savastano, Francesco Pellegrino (La Santa Piccola) as Angelo ‘A Sirena’, a reluctant gangster under pressure from a legacy he didn’t choose; Flavio Furno (Il Candidato) as ‘O Paisano’, a convict who is rallying followers for a new kind of Camorra; Tullia Venezia as young Imma, a gifted musician with dreams that extend far beyond Naples; and Fabiola Balestriere (Veleno) as Annalisa Magliocca – and yet-to-become Scianel, still a young mother under the fist of her violent husband. Other cast members include Antonio Buono, Ciro Burzo, Luigi Cardone, Antonio Del Duca, Mattia Francesco Cozzolino, Junior Rancel Rodriguez Arcia, and Antonio Incalza.
The bible and the outlines are written by Leonardo Fasoli, Maddalena Ravagli and Roberto Saviano, the screenplays are written by Leonardo Fasoli, Maddalena Ravagli and Marco D’Amore.
Gomorrah became Italy’s greatest TV export and ran five seasons between 2014-21. The show traveled to 190 countries, including on HBO Max in the U.S.
