My Brilliant friend is a collaborative venture by Wildside, Fandango, Umedia, Fremantle, and many others. Being an Italian television series, My Brilliant Friend is one of the shows that is first released in the United States with equal importance. However, the television drama is shot completely in different parts of Italy. The vital parts of the series are captured from the City of Naples, Caserta, Latina, Pisa, Milan, and Florence. A team headed by Fabio Cianchetti uses multiple cameras to collect the required visuals for the series. My Brilliant Friend however cannot be considered to be a story from Saverio Costanzo. Moreover, he got the inspiration to set a show from the Italian group of novels called Neapolitan Novels written by Elena Ferrante. The book was later translated and published in the United States thereby getting popular there.
Nevertheless, the language used in the show is not English. Even though its dubbed English version is available, the series features Neapolitan as well as the Italian language. The HBO network along with Rai 1 channel telecast the show with episodes having a duration of just above an hour in most of the cases. It was premiered on November 18, 2018, and also managed to complete twenty-four episodes from its first three seasons.
My Brilliant Friend Season 5 Release Date
A fifth season isn’t even currently on the discussion table as they are preparing for the fourth season. The entire show is based on a group of novels written by Elena Ferrante and released as a collective project in her book called Neapolitan Novels. Furthermore, the book contains four chapters and it is based on these parts that each season is designed. Three seasons have already been released based on the first three parts of the book. Now the remaining part will be released as its fourth season. They are planning on airing the fourth season as the final part. This means that there is a limited number of chances for the release of a fifth season.
Despite declaring it as a finale, it might not be the end of the show. The production team can come up with much more ideas especially when Elena is still working with the screenplay. However, it is difficult to predict the dates of its release because of the ongoing telecasting of the fourth season. With a consistent viewership of approximately four million, a fifth season can be expected sooner or later.
