Sky explores Gomorrah – Origins

FIRST LOOK: Filming has wrapped on Gomorrah – Origins, a new prequel to the Italian mafia series that will debut on Sky and NOW in January 2026.

The six-part prequel, which explores the early years of Don Pietro Savastano, is produced by Sky Studios and Cattleya, with Beta Film handling international distribution.

Set in 1977 Naples, Pietro is a tough city kid who grew up in the poorest parts of Secondigliano. He and his friends survive any way they can, riding their mopeds around town and committing petty theft. But he has a big dream: to become like Angelo ‘A Sirena, the neighborhood’s “king.” When he manages to get in the graces of the young boss, he finds himself caught in a power game far beyond him. He ends up wondering whether this dark, violent criminal life is really what he wants or if his love for Imma can save him from such a fate.

The cast includes Luca Lubrano as the young and ambitious Pietro Savastano; Francesco Pellegrino (La Santa Piccola) as Angelo ‘A Sirena’, a reluctant gangster under pressure from a legacy he didn’t choose; Flavio Furno (Il Candidato) as ‘O Paisano’, a convict who is rallying followers for a new kind of Camorra; Tullia Venezia as a young Imma, a gifted musician with dreams that extend far beyond Naples; and Fabiola Balestriere (Veleno) as Annalisa Magliocca and the future Scianel, still a young mother under the fist of her violent husband.

Other cast members include Antonio Buono, Ciro Burzo, Luigi Cardone, Antonio Del Duca, Mattia Francesco Cozzolino, Junior Rancel Rodriguez Arcia, and Antonio Incalza.

The original series, based on the novel Gomorra by Roberto Saviano, ran for five seasons, and was sold to more than 190 territories worldwide. The franchise also includes feature film The Immortal, which serves as a narrative bridge between seasons four and five.

Gomorrah – Origins is also based on Saviano’s book. The series bible and the outlines are written by Leonardo Fasoli, Maddalena Ravagli and Roberto Saviano, with the screenplays written by Leonardo Fasoli, Maddalena Ravagli and Marco D’Amore.

The series is directed by Marco D’Amore, who starred in the original Gomorrah series as Ciro Di Marzio and is responsible for the first four episodes while also serving as co-writer and artistic supervisor. Francesco Ghiaccio directs the final two episodes.
