The series stars Kim Rossi Stuart as Don Fabrizio Corbera, the Prince of Salina, whose privileged life is disrupted by the looming unification of Italy and the collapse of the old aristocratic order. Alongside him is a talented cast including Benedetta Porcaroli, Deva Cassel, Saul Nanni, Paolo Calabresi, Francesco Colella, Astrid Meloni, and Greta Esposito. At the heart of the story is Don Fabrizio’s difficult decision to secure his family’s legacy through a marriage between his nephew Tancredi and the beautiful Angelica, a choice that could come at the cost of his beloved daughter Concetta’s happiness. This moral dilemma serves as the series’ core conflict, with themes of loyalty, love, and the sacrifices made in the name of progress.
The Leopard is adapted from the acclaimed novel, widely regarded as one of the greatest works of Italian literature. The series is written by Benji Walters and Richard Warlow, and it is helmed by a talented directing team including Tom Shankland, Giuseppe Capotondi, and Laura Luchetti. The modern adaptation seeks to capture the essence of the novel’s exploration of aristocracy, power, and the intersection of old-world traditions with new, revolutionary forces.
The highly anticipated series is set to stream in 2025, offering a visually rich and emotionally gripping narrative that reinterprets a classic story for today’s audience. Fans of historical dramas can look forward to an engaging exploration of Italy’s past and the personal struggles of its aristocracy.
