My Brilliant Friend (Italian: L'amica geniale) is a Neapolitan- and Italian-language coming-of-age drama television series created by Saverio Costanzo for HBO, RAI, and TIMvision. Named after the first of four novels in the Neapolitan Novels series by Elena Ferrante, the series is an adaptation of the entire literary work into four seasons.[2] My Brilliant Friend is a co-production between Italian production companies Wildside, Fandango, The Apartment Pictures, Mowe and international film groups Umedia and Fremantle.

Production

[edit]
Filming of the second season at Piazza dei Cavalieri, Pisa in 2019

Commissioned by Rai Fiction, HBO and TIMvision, the first season was produced by Italian production companies Wildside and Fandango and international film group Umedia.[4] TIMvision withdrew from the project after the first season,[53] while production companies The Apartment Pictures and Mowe joined production for the second season.[54]

On February 18, 2020, Gaia Girace announced that she would leave the series after playing Lila in three episodes of the third season, as a new and older actress would be cast for the following episodes.[55] However, the director of the third season, Daniele Luchetti, later opted to retain Girace and Mazzucco for the duration of the season.[56]

The site's critical consensus is, "Gorgeously shot and full of incredible performances, My Brilliant Friend's second season expands its small world with rich results."[65] On Metacritic, it has a score of 92 out of 100 based on 8 reviews.[66]
