The eight-part series, which had its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, is directed by BAFTA-winning Joe Wright (Darkest hour, Atonement, Cyrano) and is produced by Sky Studios and Lorenzo Mieli for The Apartment, a Fremantle group company, in co-production with Path , in association with Small Forward Productions, in collaboration with Fremantle, CINECITT S.p.A., and Sky.

Shooting Stars Award winning actor Luca Marinelli, among the most respected actors in Italy, leads the cast as Benito Mussolini.

Like the eponymous novel, the series will tell the history of a country that surrendered to dictatorship, and the story of a man who was able to rise from his ashes time and again. The eight-part series will cover the period from the founding of Fasci Italiani in 1919 through to Mussolini's infamous speech in parliament following the murder of socialist Giacomo Matteotti in 1925. The series will also provide viewers with an insight into Mussolini and his personal relationships, including with his wife Rachele, his lover Margherita Sarfatti, and with other iconic figures from the time.

Written by Stefano Bises (Gomorrah, The New Pope, ZeroZeroZero, Speravo de mor prima) and Davide Serino (1992, 1993, Il Re - The king, Exterior Night), with the series outline by Stefano Bises, Davide Serino and Antonio Scurati, the series will tell the events with historical accuracy, with every event, character, dialogue and speech documented or witnessed by multiple sources.

The soundtrack is composed by Tom Rowlands, also known for being part of the British electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers, pioneers who brought big beat to the forefront of pop culture, topping charts worldwide. They are multi-award winners, with 6 Grammy Awards, 1 Brit Award, 1 MTV Europe Music Award, and 1 NME Award.
