has kicked off at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios, where the lavish period soap will be based for the next six months.
Hailing from executive producer Jenji Kohan and creator/showrunner Kathleen Jordan , the eight-episode drama takes place in 1348, as the Black Death pandemic strikes hard in the city of Florence. A handful of nobles are invited to retreat with their servants to a grand villa in the Italian countryside and wait out the pestilence with a lavish holiday. But as social rules wear thin, what starts as a wine-soaked sex romp in the hills of Tuscany descends into an all out scramble for survival.
The announced cast of “The Decameron” is almost entirely made up of young non-Italian actors, including Zosia Mamet as Pampinea, the soon-to-be lady of the villa; Tanya Reynolds as Licisca, an obedient yet unpredictable servant; and Karan Gill as Panfilo, the son of a politically prominent Florentine family.
