When Is Elena Ferrante Show Lying Life of Adults On Netflix? - Netflix Tudum
- The Italian-language Elena Ferrante adaptation premieres Jan. 4, 2023.Nov. 8, 2022
The Ferrante-hive is ringing in the new year with lots of teen angst. The Lying Life of Adults, based on Elena Ferrate’s novel of the same name, will premiere on Netflix on Jan. 4, 2023, right in time for all those resolutions to start falling by the wayside.
The six-episode Italian-language series directed by Edoardo De Angelis stars Giordana Marengo as Giovanna, whose turbulent transition from childhood to adolescence against the backdrop of 1990s Naples drives the plot.
The logline reads: “The search for a new face, after the happy one of childhood, oscillates between two consanguineous Naples which, however, fear and hate each other: the Naples above, which has given itself a fine mask, and the one below, which pretends to be excessive, trivial. Giovanna oscillates between high and low, now tumbling, now climbing, bewildered by the fact that, up or down, the city seems without answer and without escape.”
Valeria Golino, who starred opposite Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man and appeared as a documentary filmmaker in Season 2 of The Morning Show, plays a central role as Giovanna’s aunt Vittoria. Alessandro Preziosi and Pina Turco co-star as her father, Andrea, and mother, Nella, while Azzurra Mennella and Rossella Gamba play sisters Ida and Angela, friends of Giovanna’s.
The Lying Life of Adults is written by Ferrante, De Angelis, Laura Paolucci and Francesco Piccolo. Can’t wait until January for your Ferrante-fix? Check out 2021’s The Lost Daughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Oscar-nominated film adaptation of the novel of the same name starring Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, Paul Mescal, and an enviable array of beachy caftans.
Or, just impatiently wait until Jan 4 to get a steamy dose of teen drama.
