Marco D'Amore will direct the prequel to Gomorrah, which will focus on the life of Don Pietro Savastano. Ten years after the original series debuted, "Gomorrah" returns to the small screen with a spin-off that will chronicle the rise of criminal boss Pietro Savastano, played once again by Fortunato Cerlino.
The prequel, announced by Sky, has Leonardo Fasoli and Maddalena Ravagli, already authors of the original series, as the scriptwriter and, according to what Adnkronos has learned, Marco d'amore will direct. Marco D'Amore, who played Ciro Di Marzio in the original series, is returning to the set as a director. The actor has already directed some episodes of the fourth and fifth seasons (2019-2021) of the series and the 2019 film 'L'immortale', in which he continued to play Ciro Di Marzio. Last year, when news of the prequel began to circulate, the actor took to his social media channels to clarify that he would not be participating in the project as an actor.
"I don't know anything about it, I learned it like you from social media. As far as I'm concerned, my (fantastic) experience on Gomorrah ended in November 2021, the day after the first episode of the fifth season aired. I gave my all, over eight years of work, first as an actor and then as a director and artistic director, until together, we completed our journey," the actor wrote. However, the journey seems to have taken a different direction, with D'Amore returning to direct the spin-off of the series that made him famous. There's no announcement yet about the start of filming or the broadcast of the new series. Meanwhile, casting is underway, and in the suburbs of Naples, new faces are being sought for the Sky production.
