Amazon is moving into Italian originals with a multigenre slate comprising “Bang Bang Baby,” a Milan-set mob drama with a young woman at its center, a comedy series centered around popular local star Carlo Verdone, and an unscripted food travelogue titled “Dinner Club.”
The streamer’s first forays into Italian scripted content were announced Thursday at a Prime Video Presents Italy event in Rome attended by Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke and international originals chief James Farrell, as well as Amazon’s director of European originals Georgia Brown, and the studio’s head of unscripted originals in Italy, Nicole Morganti.
