Here’s All You Need To Know About The Italian Counterpart Of Netflix’s The Crown ( Photo Credit – Netflix )

Netflix has had delectable historical fiction dramas from the Western part of the world. The European content, apart from the British dramas, however, often goes undetected by the larger audience unless there is massive virality attached to it. Netflix Italian originals like The Law According to Lidia Poët are some of the underrated gems. While The Crown still has its hold strong, the Ott giant has seemingly released a new historical drama from the lands of Italy. This show is a Netflix Italy original titled The Leopard. It was released on Netflix on March 5, and there is seemingly less chatter for a show of this caliber.

Netflix has quietly dropped a bombshell for zombie apocalypse fans, and it’s one that’s bound to hook you within minutes. Without any grand announcements, all episodes of what many are calling “the best show on TV” have landed on the platform and if you’ve been craving the next big thing in The Walking Dead universe, your search is over.

A Surprise Arrival For US Viewers

The series that has already started receiving significant attention is ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City,’ the spin-off that refuses to be just another offshoot. It is a thrilling expansion of Robert Kirkman’s beloved comic book world and the series takes fan-favorite characters and shoves them into a New York City unlike anything seen before—isolated, decayed, and overrun with dangers beyond just the undead.

The only TV episode in history to hold a perfect 10/10 on IMDb(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Think of all the legendary TV episodes that you’ve seen, the ones that left you breathless, that had you pacing the room, that made you sit in stunned silence as the credits rolled. With so many masterpieces gracing our screens, it seems almost impossible that only one episode in television history has achieved a flawless 10/10 score on IMDb.

Several Iconic Shows But No 10/10

Even in the golden age of TV, where every other week a new ‘masterpiece’ drops, nothing else has quite managed to achieve perfection.

Just a few days back, Netflix’s Adolescence landed with a bang, earning a stellar 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, yet its highest-rated episode? An 8.6. Over on Apple TV+, the much-lauded Severance continues to mesmerize audiences, but even its best episode from the latest season caps out at 9.4.

‘The Leopard’ explores how the legendary Garibaldi's conquest affected and altered noble life in Italy and society as they knew it. After being in exile for 14 years, where he found himself involved in both the Uruguayan Civil War and the Ragamuffin War, Giuseppe Garibaldi first returned to Italy in 1948, immediately finding himself involved in the middle of the 1848 Revolutions, after contributing to various campaigns across Italy, including his work as a major general during the Second Italian War of Independence in 1859. Eventually, as the year 1860 came, Garibaldi and his Redshirts volunteers began their Expedition of the Thousand in an attempt to conquer the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Utilizing this unique tumultuous era of Sicily as the primary setting, author Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa explores the profound societal change that the Italian region faced upon the arrival of Garibaldi’s forces, more specifically from the eyes of those in the falling nobility.

In the second half of the 19th century, Italy was changing: Unification was underway, and Giuseppe Garibaldi’s Redshirt army was on the verge of conquering the island of Sicily. Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s posthumously published 1958 novel Il Gattopardo chronicled that period through the eyes of the Sicilian aristocratic Corbera family, in an enduring epic that became the highest-selling novel in Italian history. Now, years after Luchino Visconti’s Palme d’Or–winning film adaptation, the story comes to life once again, in a new limited series.

Tom Shankland, who directed several episodes of The Leopard, was raised steeped in the history of Sicily; his father was a professor in Europe, and the family spent a great deal of time there. “I read the book in my 20s and thought, ‘it’s a wonderful book,’ ” Shankland tells Tudum. “It seems to speak to the Sicily that I experienced as...

The Leopard Netflix Must-Watch ( Photo Credit – Netflix )

Netflix has unleashed a new drama that’s already turning heads, a lavish adaptation of a novel that once teetered on the brink of obscurity. The six-part series, now available in full, has critics reaching for superlatives, calling it intoxicating, swoon-worthy, and a feast for the senses.

A Novel That Almost Never Was

At the heart of this spectacle is The Leopard, a 1958 Italian novel that almost never saw the light of day. Rejected by publishers during its time, it was only after the death of its author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, that the literary world recognized it as one of the 20th century’s greatest masterpieces.

Now, decades later, Netflix has breathed new life into the story with a sumptuous adaptation that doesn’t just dazzle the eye but also cuts deep with its examination of power, survival, and change.

Trending Oscars...

There is something very British about the new Netflix Italian period drama The Leopard. Upon doing some research, it seems the Brits have, in fact, adapted this 1860 novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa to create an illustrious miniseries that will consume your senses from start to finish. The show, set in 1860s Sicily, follows the titular character, the Prince of Salina, and his family through a time of distress and fear. On the surface, The Leopard seems to be a regular period drama with all of the ingredients that make them so lovable: a love triangle, family drama, people going to war, and a lot more of the usual fluff. But what stood out to me the most about The Leopard is that even amidst all of that chaos, at its heart, it is a drama about a father-daughter relationship.

As you can imagine, the Italian countryside is an absolute delight,...

Netflix’s adaptation of Italian writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s celebrated literary work, The Leopard, is visually extravagant. Richard Warlow’s six-episode series is centered around Don Fabrizio (also known as the Leopard), the Prince of Salina, and the conflict he experienced as the new world emerged. With Garibaldi’s Redshirt army fast approaching, the prince had to leave Palermo to protect his family. He and his ancestors had been loyal to the Bourbon Dynasty, who’d ruled Sicily for over a century. As the movement for the unification of Italy gained traction, the aristocrats had no choice but to brace themselves for the worst. The series is about Don Fabrizio’s struggle to adjust to the new world order, where men like him no longer had the ultimate power.

The Leopard’s ending is a devastating reminder that all good things must come to an end. It seems it is the season of father-daughter relationships set in Italy, because this is the second piece of media I’ve seen on Netflix recently based on the same subject. The Italian show tells the story of an aristocratic family in Sicily, namely the Corbera family, led by the prince of Salina. The titular character is the prince himself, who, through the tumultuous era of 19th century Italy, tries to keep his family together and uphold their dignity as best as he can. In all honesty, I did feel like the show was more about his daughter and nephew than it was about the prince himself, but I understand the title of the show now that I’ve finished it. In The Leopard’s final episode, the prince finds himself sickly and learns he has brain cancer,...

“Everything must change for everything to remain the same,” Tancredi, Prince Fabrizio Salina’s beloved nephew, says in a now-famous line from Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s novel “The Leopard.” The same philosophy applies to the look and feel of the Sicily-set classic’s Netflix miniseries adaptation, which released globally Wednesday and marks the streamer’s most ambitious Italian original to date.

“The Leopard” chronicles the changes in Sicilian life and society during the 19th-century unification of Italy, known as the Risorgimento. When tasked with telling the story in 2025, the lavish show’s production and costume teams faced a monumental challenge in envisioning a modern take on the sensual Sicilian saga. There would also be inevitable comparisons to “The Leopard’s” first adaptation — Luchino Visconti’s 1963 cinema classic starring Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon and Burt Lancaster, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival.

Most Anticipated New Releases on Netflix This Week The Leopard (Limited Series)

Coming to Netflix: Wednesday

Netflix Italy has already had success in the period drama world with the release of The Law According to Lidia Poet (recently renewed for a third season). Still, the streamer is hoping to dial up that success significantly with this splashy and expensive new series The Leopard, which brings to life the seminal novel of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.

The In Memoriam portion of the 2025 Oscars telecast on Sunday night paid a moving tribute to several stars and movie industry folk who have died over the last year, but there were some notable omissions that were quickly pointed out on social media.

The In Memoriam segment of the show, that was soundtracked to the “Lacrimosa” portion of Mozart’s “Requiem in D Minor,” featured moving tributes to entertainment industry giants the likes of David Lynch, Maggie Smith, Roger Corman, Shelley Duvall, Bob Newhart, James Earl Jones and Donald Sutherland. Two-time Oscar-winner Gene Hackman, who was found dead inside his Sante Fe home alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa, was given a moving special tribute by his longtime friend Morgan Freeman.

But as ever with the Academy Awards and the In Memoriam segment, much of the discussion online is who was omitted from the televised tribute. One of the more glaring omissions was actor Tony Todd,...

Netflix has released first-look images of limited series “The Leopard,” based on the classic Sicily-set novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa that marks the streamer’s most ambitious Italian original to date.

Production on the lavish historical tapestry with elements comparable to “Downton Abbey” or “The Crown” – and potential to make a global mark – is currently underway in the Sicilian cities of Palermo, Syracuse and Catania. The show is a modern take on the sensual Sicilian saga famously adapted into a film by Luchino Visconti starring Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon and Burt Lancaster. The movie, now an Italian cinema classic, won the 1963 Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Published posthumously in 1958, “The Leopard” chronicles the changes in Sicilian life and society during the 19th century unification of Italy, known as the Risorgimento. It became the top-selling novel in modern Italian literature of its day and was translated into more than 40 different languages.
