October 10, 2023 - Start of production for Il Mostro, the four-episode TV series directed by Stefano Sollima and created by Leonardo Fasoli and Stefano Sollima. The Apartment - a Fremantle company - and AlterEgo production, the series produced by Lorenzo Mieli and Stefano Sollima is coming soon only on Netflix.

SYNOPSIS:

Eight double murders. Seventeen years of terror. Always the same weapon. A .22 caliber Beretta. One of the longest and most complex Italian investigations into the first and most brutal serial killer in the countrys history: The Monster of Florence. A series based on true events, direct testimonies, procedural documents and journalistic investigations. All terribly true. Because we believe that telling the truth, and only that, is the only way to bring justice to the victims. In a story where there have been many possible monsters, over time and investigations, our story focuses on them, the possible monsters, from their point of view. Because the monster, in the end, could be anyone.
