Welcome to Villa Santa! Escape the pestilence and retreat to the Italian countryside!
Synopsis
The Decameron is a soapy dark comedy that examines the all-too-timely theme of class struggles in the season of a pandemic. In the year 1348, the Black Death strikes hard in the city of Florence, and a handful of nobles retreat with their servants to a grand villa to wait out the plague with a lavish holiday.
But as social rules wear thin, a scramble for survival ensues, brought to life by a cast of characters both cunning and outrageous.
Created by Kathleen Jordan, who was very loosely inspired by the 14-century story collection The Decameron, the eight-episode series is through Jenji Kohan’s Tilted Productions. Kohan serves as an executive producer, alongside Jordan, director Michael Uppendahl, and Tilted’s Blake McCormick and Tara Herrmann.
The 8-episode series was very loosely inspired by the 14-century story collection The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio.
When will ‘The Decameron’ premiere on Netflix?
The all-new dark comedy series starring Tony Hale, Zosia Mamet, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Executive Produced by Jenji Johan & Kathleen Jordan premieres on July 25, 2024.
