Netflix has set a
March 5th streaming start date for their rather lavish six episode
THE LEOPARD historical series which will arrive to the streamer around the world directed by
Tom Shankland. While Sicily is struggling in the
turmoil of the Risorgimento in 1860, the Prince of Salina Fabrizio
Corbera (
Kim Rossi Stuart) reigns over
his family and his possessions, convinced that even these disorders are
destined to pass. He hasn’t come to terms with the idealism of young
people like his nephew Tancredi (
Saul Nanni), who joins the rebels risking

his own
life, or the ambitions of men like Sedara, a vulgar man who rides
change by pandering to the nascent power of mafia criminal organizations
and

intends to use his beautiful daughter Angelica (
Deva Cassel) to get what he wants. At Don Fabrizio’s side remains Concetta (
Benedetta Porcaroli),
his

favourite daughter, who shares his intelligence and foresight. Her
happiness will eventually be sacrificed in an attempt to ensure the
survival of the power and of the name of the lineage.
