IN THE WORLD OF THE MOON
With ten episodes, No Mundo da Luna, which will premiere on HBO Max on a date yet to be defined, tells the story of Luna (Marina Moschen), a young woman who comes from a gypsy family and is a recently graduated journalist. To get closer to the profession, she ends up accepting to make a horoscope for a news portal using cards from the gypsy deck. What she doesn’t realize is that the letters inherited from her family — and with centuries of history — speak to her. Literally. The series is based on the book of the same title by Carina Rissi.
MY BRILLIANT FRIEND
My Brilliant Friend is an eight-episode series based on the books by renowned author Elena Ferrante. Narrated by Elena Greco, the protagonist is an author who decides to write her childhood memories after receiving a phone call about the disappearance of her old best friend.
