Netflix Italy Is Going All In: Every New Italian Series and Movie Landing in 2026 and 2027

Italy has quietly become one of Netflix’s most reliable content engines in Europe — and 2026 is proving it. After the global buzz around The Leopard and The Monster of Florence, the streamer is doubling down with a packed slate of Italian dramas, comedies, thrillers, and true-crime stories stretching well into 2027.

Here’s a full breakdown of everything confirmed so far — what it’s about, who’s in it, and roughly when you can expect it.

The Full Italian Slate: Overview

The Shows You’ll Actually Want to Watch

Real Men (Maschi Veri) Season 2 returns October 7 with its full cast intact. It’s the Italian spin on Netflix’s international “masculinity crisis” comedy format — and unlike the French and other regional versions, this one’s thriving enough to earn a second season.

Il Capo Perfetto puts Detective Montalbano icon Luca Zingaretti in the shoes of a factory boss whose life unravels — basically an Italian take on the Spanish awards darling The Good Boss, which starred Javier Bardem.

ChiaroScuro is the show to watch if you like moody procedurals. It follows an eccentric art expert and a by-the-book inspector investigating a murder staged to mimic a famous Artemisia Gentileschi painting — think Sherlock Holmes meets the art world.

Nemesi is a slow-burn legal thriller starring Pierfrancesco Favino as a wealthy entrepreneur accused of murdering his wife, and Barbara Ronchi as the lawyer digging into both his past and her own.

The Monster of Florence: Pietro Pacciani continues director Stefano Sollima’s true-crime anthology, this time tackling the controversial trial of the man accused of being the “Monster of Florence” — a case that split Italy for decades.

Troppo Invidiosa is a comedy remake of Netflix’s Envious format, led by comedian Diana Del Bufalo as a woman spiraling through envy, love, and self-discovery as she nears 40.

Fratelli a Castello brings YouTube comedy duo I Sansoni to Netflix, expected to lean into sibling rivalry and mismatched personalities for laughs.

SuburraMaxima picks up where Suburraeterna left off, following mobster Alberto “Spadino” Anacleti’s release from prison as a massive police raid reshuffles Rome’s criminal underworld.

The Movies Rounding Out the Slate

Senza Volto reunites Netflix with actor Edoardo Leo for a tense thriller about a former undercover agent framed for his wife’s murder.

Campioni is a warm, crowd-pleasing remake of the Spanish hit Champions, following a troubled basketball coach forced to train a team of players with disabilities as community service.

Noi un po’ meglio is a romantic comedy about two mismatched people — one craving structure, one allergic to commitment — who test their relationship by adopting a child together.

Why This Matters for Netflix’s European Strategy

Italy isn’t just producing local hits anymore — it’s becoming a filming hub for major international productions too, with shows like The Gentlemen and Emily in Paris shooting extensively there. Combine that with a steady pipeline of homegrown dramas and comedies, and Italy is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s strongest content bets in Europe through 2027.
