HBO has announced the release date of the fourth and final season of its globally critically acclaimed original series ‘My Brilliant Friend’ that will debut on 9th September on HBO and for streaming on Max. New episodes for the 10 episode series will launch weekly.
Based on the bestselling novels by Elena Ferrante, ‘My Brilliant Friend’ follows Elena Greco and the most important friend in her life, Raffaella “Lila” Cerullo. After meeting as children in 1950s Naples, their story goes on to cover over 60 years, exploring the mystery of Lila – Elena’s brilliant best friend and, in a way, her worst enemy.

They find themselves entangled in the turmoil of Italy in the late 1980s, nearing the end of decades of political violence and social unrest.
