Available from 29 April, this new, Italian Netflix Original series, produced by Cattleya and revolving around a teenager’s summer love, has a slightly vintage flavour. Summer is arriving early on Netflix with the new original Italian series Summertime, which shows us everything we won’t be able to do this year, courtesy of the pandemic: parties with friends, dips in the sea all together, fleeting relationships and loving embraces in the sun. But what we can do is dream, and so from 29 April, subscribers to the global streaming platform will be able to follow the vicissitudes (very loosely based upon Federico Moccia’s book Tre metri sopra il cielo) of a group of adolescents from the Adriatic coast, caught between first loves, family conflicts and an eagerness to grow up and immersed in the hot and vibrant colours of a modern-day summer reminiscent of the 1960s ambiance in Time for Loving.
Netflix has announced three new Italian originals, indicating that the streaming giant is ramping up operations in the country as it gets more traction with local subscribers.
The new Italian Netflix originals in the pipeline are: “Curon,” a genre show with supernatural elements, which is set in a Northern Italian village; a series adaptation of hit teen romance movie “Three Steps Over Heaven”; and an adaptation of a bestselling Italian novel titled “Fedeltà,” which translates as “Faithfulness,” and is about a Milanese couple in their 30s.

Abbate was a writer on “Suburra,” which was Netflix’s first Italian original. “Curon” will be produced by Indiana Productions and marks the first...
