Sky explores Gomorrah – The Origins

TRAILER: Luca Lubrano stars as the young Pietro Savastano in Gomorrah – The Origins, a 1970s-set prequel to classic Italian mafia drama Gomorrah, debuting on Sky and streamer NOW in early 2026.

Naples, 1977. The story of how it all began — how a very young Pietro Savastano will enter a criminal world set against the backdrop of a city in transformation: poor, rough-edged, hooked on cigarette smuggling and about to enter a new era of heroin use.

The six-part series is an origin story tracing the criminal education of the future boss and offering a fresh perspective on the roots of Pietro’s power, capturing an era that shaped the face of modern crime.

Produced by Sky Studios and Cattleya, the series is directed by Marco D’Amore, who helmed the first four episodes. He is also co-writer and artistic supervisor. Francesco Ghiaccio directs the final two episodes.

The series is created by Leonardo Fasoli, Maddalena Ravagli and Roberto Saviano, and internationally distributed by Beta Film.

Lubrano stars alongside Francesco Pellegrino as Angelo ‘A Sirena’, a reluctant gangster under pressure from a legacy he didn’t choose; Flavio Furno as ‘O Paisano,’ a convict who is rallying followers for a new kind of Camorra; Tullia Venezia as young Imma, a gifted musician with dreams that extend far beyond Naples; and Fabiola Balestriere as Annalisa Magliocca – and yet-to-become 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.

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