In a move that has thrilled fans and critics alike, Amazon Prime Video has greenlit a second season of the electrifying Italian crime series, The Bad Guy. Following its riveting debut season, the show has captivated audiences with its gripping narrative and stellar performances.
Starring Luigi Lo Cascio and Claudia Pandolfi, The Bad Guy delves into the shadowy underworld of Sicily, set against a near-future backdrop. Lo Cascio portrays Nino Scotellaro, a principled Sicilian prosecutor unjustly imprisoned on fabricated charges of mafia collusion. Embracing his newfound ‘bad guy’ persona, Scotellaro orchestrates a Machiavellian revenge plot that blurs the lines between justice and vengeance.
Joining the stellar ensemble for Season 2 is Stefano Accorsi, renowned for his role in Italian Race. With production spanning picturesque locales in Lazio, Emilia Romagna, and Sicily, the upcoming season promises to deepen the intrigue and unravel Scotellaro’s enigmatic past.
Creators Giuseppe G. Stasi and Giancarlo Fontana, along with an esteemed team of writers, are set to infuse the upcoming season with a blend of crime and dark comedy. The Bad Guy Season 2 will navigate Scotellaro’s inner turmoil as he grapples with the haunting specters of regret and the elusive promise of redemption.
Produced by Indigo Film in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios and RAI Cinema, The Bad Guy Season 2 is slated to premiere exclusively on Prime Video in Italy in 2025. International audiences can anticipate a thrilling journey into the heart of darkness, as Fifth Season handles global distribution for both seasons.
As anticipation mounts for the return of this groundbreaking series, viewers can expect an explosive continuation of Scotellaro’s gripping saga, where the lines between good and evil blur in a mesmerizing dance of intrigue and betrayal.
