My Brilliant Friend Moves Back to Naples


The new trailer gently guides us into fraught-friendship fall.

Based on the Neapolitan Quartet’s The Story of the Lost Child, the upcoming ten-episode season will be directed by Laura Bispuri and feature an aged-up cast. Lenù, an upwardly mobile author who, after leaving behind the poverty of her youth, pursuing a dazzling education, marrying into an esteemed family in Milan, and having two young girls of her own, has just blown up her life for a man. While Lenù gallivants about Italy with Nino (Fabrizio Gifuni), the irresistible and unpredictable fuckboy whom she’s had a crush on since they were literal children, she struggles to square her minor celebrity as a feminist writer with her guilt over abandoning her family and ignores calls from Lila (Irene Maiorino).
