First footage from the Italian crime series.
One of our favourite movies of last year was Stefano Sollima's Rome set crime epic Suburra, so we were very excited at the announcement of a spinoff series coming to Netflix. October 6th has now been unveiled as the date when all 10 episodes of the series, which appears to be a prequel to the movie, will drop. Unfortunately Sollima doesn't return as director, as he's busy helming Sicario sequel Soldado.
The official synopsis reads:
Suburra is a crime thriller set in Rome that describes how the Church, the state, organized crime, local gangs and real estate developers collide and blur the lines between the legal and the illicit in their quest for power. At the heart of the story three young men with different backgrounds, ambitions and passions will have to forge alliances to achieve their deepest desire. Based on the novel of the same name but set several years before, Suburra the series, is full of action, drama and crime that sees 20 days of turmoil in 10 powerful episodes.
