Netflix has commissioned Maschi Veri, a new eight-part comedy from Italian Banijay label Groenlandia.

Produced by Matteo Rovere and written by Furio Andreotti, Giulia Calenda and Ugo Ripamont, the series will debut on the streamer next year.

 Maschi Veri follows Mattia (Maurizio Lastrico), Massimo (Matteo Martari), Riccardo (Francesco Montanari) and Luigi (Pietro Sermonti), four friends in their forties who, in a world that tries to change towards social and gender equality, find themselves to face their own prejudices, the paradigms of “toxic masculinity” and the unexpected consequences of having to question yourself.

Always tied to their status as alpha males, the four friends will suddenly have to rediscover their place in society and in couple dynamics, without losing themselves in the meantime.

Thony, Sarah Felberbaum, Laura Adriani, Alice Lupparelli, Corrado Fortuna, Nicole Grimaudo also star in the series, which is directed by Matteo Oleotto and Letizia Lamartire.
