ROBUST CONTENT PIPELINE

Unrivalled Slate of Italian Content

As part of the streamer’s plan to greenlight 150 international originals by 2025, Paramount+ is bringing Hollywood to Italy, as Italian audiences will find a Mountain of Entertainment including locally created content:

FRANCESCO IL CANTICO, hosted by Oscar(R)-winning Italian star Roberto Benigni; and a new season of VITA DA CARLO, the first production with Carlo Verdone for Paramount+, playing a double role of director and main lead on the series following his own life, showing the frugal private life of a man who never denies himself to his audience, between selfies on the streets and autographs at rest stops.

CIRCEO, the series produced by Cattleya in collaboration with VIS, Paramount’s international studio division, Paramount+ and RAI Fiction which recounts the events surrounding the infamous case of 1975 that changed Italian society forever.

QUATTORDICI GIORNI, a Paramount+ original Italian production, written and directed by Ivan Cotroneo and landing on the platform later this month, follows the story of a couple forced into two weeks of seclusion.

The saga begins when Beavis and Butt-Head wind up at space camp through “creative sentencing” from a juvenile court judge in 1998. After ruining a mission, they are left for dead in space and end up going through a black hole and re-emerging back on Earth in 2022, only to discover a very different world.

The film will feature the voices of Italian stand-up comedians and comedy writers Edoardo Ferrario and Luca Ravenna.

SOUTH PARK THE STREAMING WARS follows Cartman, who locks horns with his mom in a battle of wills, as an epic conflict unfolds and threatens South Park’s very existence, while in SOUTH PARK THE STREAMING WARS – PART 2 a drought has brought the town of South Park to the brink of disaster.
