‘The Young Pope’ Producers Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli Sign Fremantle Co-Production Deal With New Company


After exiting their banners The Apartment and Wildside, Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli have now signed a co-production deal with Fremantle.

Well-established Italian producers Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli — who left their Fremantle-owned banners, Wildside and The Apartment, respectively, earlier this year — are returning to the growing TV and film powerhouse with their new scripted outfit. The duo — who co-founded “The Young Pope” and “My Brilliant Friend” production house Wildside in 2009 before Mieli exited to set up The Apartment, which was behind the recent hit “Priscilla” — are yet to reveal details of their new company. Annamaria Morelle, an established film and TV producer who has worked with Rai, Mediaset and TimVision with credits including “My Brilliant Friend” and “Killing Eve,” has been named CEO of The Apartment.
