After French Originals Slate, Amazon Now Announces Italian Originals Slate

By Binged Bureau - May 27, 2021 @ 08:05 pm

Amazon Prime Video has found just the right ways to hit global headlines daily. The streaming giant today unveiled its brand new slate of Italian Originals – both shows and films. Though not as big as yesterday’s news of Amazon Prime Video acquiring MGM Holdings for $8.45 Billion, it is, nevertheless, an alluring piece of news for digital content buffs. Amazon’s announcement of its new Italian Originals slate comes close on the heels of the March unveiling of its French Originals slate.

Amazon’s announcement of its Italian slate includes all of these –

The Bad Guy

The dark comedy series follows the story of Nino Scotellaro, a public prosecutor, who stands up to the mafia. When he is accused of being a mafioso, and with nothing left to lose, he decides to get down and dirty and take his revenge on the people who are behind the plot to malign his reputation.
Created by Ludovica Rampoldi, Davide Serino and Giuseppe G. Stasi
Directed by Giancarlo Fontana and Giuseppe G. Stasi

Amazon Prime Video also revealed the cast for some of its previously announced Italian originals –
