Stampede Acquires Italian Novel ‘Frenesia’ For TV Series Adaptation


Frenesia charts how one unexpected kiss shatters the world of an 18-year-old boy.

Frenesia(which translates as Frenzy in English) charts how one unexpected kiss, given as a joke, shatters the world of an 18-year-old boy and sets him on a reckless, psychedelic journey into his personal hell of excess, fantasies, and boundaries. We saw incredible celebrations around the world during Pride month this year and in continuing to support the community year-round, it’s important to showcase a story that explores so many powerful themes of identity and self-discovery,” stated John-Paul Sarni, EVP, Head of International Content + IP Acquisitions, Stampede. Stampede’s recent TV credits include Gold Diggers for ABC Australia and the upcoming series, The Darkness for Síminn Iceland, based on the novel by Ragnar Jónasson, directed by Lasse Hallström and starring Lena Olin.
