First Trailer For Gomorrah: The Origins Prequel Series
The criminal coming of age of young Pietro Savastano
All criminal dynasties have to start somewhere and in 2026, Sky will release the highly anticipated six-part prequel to the global hit Sky Original series, Gomorrah…Gomorrah: The Origins.
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 new series — an origin story tracing the criminal education of the future boss and offering a fresh perspective on the roots of Pietro’s power — captures an era that shaped the face of modern crime. The series expands the epic crime saga inspired by Roberto Saviano’s bestselling novel.
The series stars 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 young Imma, a gifted musician with dreams that extend far beyond Naples; and Fabiola Balestriere (Veleno) 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.
