Sky has unveiled the official trailer for the fifth and final season of “Gomorrah,” Italy’s cult crime series produced by Sky Studios and ITV-owned Cattleya in collaboration with Germany’s Beta Film, which is the show’s international distributor.
“Gomorrah” 5 is set to air locally on Nov. 19 after world premiering as the closing event of the CannesSeries fest on Oct. 13. The show is based on an idea by Italian writer Roberto Saviano who wrote a best-selling mob exposé by the same title.
The final instalment of the hyper-realistic skein, which is Italy’s biggest TV export, will bow on Sky in Germany in December, and in the U.K. later this year. “Gomorrah” will soon also be coming to HBO Max in the U.S., home to the previous four “Gomorrah” seasons as well as the show’s spin-off film “The Immortal,” which is an integral part of the narrative.

The fourth season of HBO Max’s “Gomorrah” will premiere in the United States on Thursday, May 20. IndieWire is exclusively revealing the trailer for the upcoming season, which can be viewed below.
The Season 4 synopsis reads:
The new season clearly turns the spotlight on Genny (Salvatore Esposito), the lone Savastano dynasty survivor: a character who has shed countless skins in the process of morphing from Don Pietro’s spoiled brat into family boss, husband, and father. In fact, the new season sees him on his best behavior precisely for the sake of Azzurra (Ivana Lotito) and little Pietro: with his own family to protect and an activity to reboot, he feels the need for a major life change, committing to legit business while sneaking out, as best he can, from the world his father had him grow up in.
His interests in Naples are now entrusted to Patrizia (Cristiana Dell’Anna) who,...

Exclusive (with season 3 spoilers): It’s dark. It’s beautiful. It’s addictive. It’s Gomorrah.
Fans of the acclaimed Italian crime series will be glad to hear that with three seasons under the belt and a fourth currently shooting, producers aren’t putting a hit out on the show just yet. Why would they, considering it has sold to 190 markets and is Sky Italia’s flagship show at home where it even outperforms Game Of Thrones.
I checked in with producers Sky Italia and Cattleya and with lead actors Marco D’Amore and Salvatore Esposito to discuss what we can expect from series four and the chances of a series five.
I’m still coming to terms with the epic season three finale, which brought with it a major surprise. “No one is guaranteed safety in Gomorrah,” confirms series producer Riccardo Tozzi, founding partner of Italian powerhouse Cattleya,...

Rome — New seasons of Italy’s high-profile mob shows, Sky’s “Gomorrah” and Netflix and Rai’s “Suburra: Blood on Rome,” are now set to hit global TV and streaming screens in 2019.
Sky announced today that the 12-episode fourth season of “Gomorrah,” which is produced by Italy’s Cattleya and Fandango in partnership with Germany’s Beta Film, will start shooting in mid-April 2018. Concurrently Netflix also announced that shooting just kicked off April 4 in Rome on the 10-episode “Suburra” 2, which ITV-owned Cattleya is producing for Netflix and Rai.

Gomorrah is a show about a den of vipers who use people and spit them out when they are past their worth. We shouldn’t like the characters, but we still do, especially Ciro Di Marzio (Marco D’Amore). So is Gomorrah: The Complete Season Three as good as previous seasons?
With Genny Savastano (Salvatore Esposito) taking over his father’s empire, it doesn’t take him long before he has a fall from grace. Back in Naples and away from his wife and child, the only person he finds he can turn to is Ciro, the man who assassinated his father.
After the events of last season, Ciro is a changed man. Putting himself through hell working for the Russian mafia, it doesn’t take him long to make his way home. When he finds himself working with Genny yet again, it is telling that he isn’t doing...
