Though the time jump will bring with it many changes, the women’s bond at its center remains the common thread. While announcing the Italian-language drama’s renewal in March, the network confirmed that Season 4 will follow Ferrante’s The Story Of The Lost Child, which picks up with Elena and Lila’s friendship on the rocks in the late 1970s. The third season of “My Brilliant Friend,” subtitled “Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay,” debuted on HBO and Italy’s RAI 1 last month.Based on Elena Ferrante’s four-book Neapolitan series, HBO’s My Brilliant Friend will also conclude with a fourth and final chapter. In her review of the second season, Variety chief TV critic Caroline Framke called the show “an unusually thoughtful, perceptive series, taking the interiority of teenage girls and women seriously while immersing its audience in a specific culture that, nonetheless, feels all too painfully familiar.” Since its premiere in 2018, “My Brilliant Friend” has received critical acclaim for its writing, direction and the performances of the two leads. Paolo Sorrentino and Jennifer Schuur serve as executive producers, and the series is distributed internationally by Fremantle in association with RAI Com. Ferrante, Francesco Piccolo, Laura Paolucci and Saverio Costanzo are the credited writers for story and screenplay of the series. The show is produced by Lorenzo Mieli for Fremantle Italy, The Apartment and Wildside, and by Domenico Procacci for Fandango, in association with Rai Fiction and HBO Entertainment. “My Brilliant Friend” was created by Saverio Costanzo.
Casting for the older version of Lila has yet to be announced. In Season 4, the role of Elena will be portrayed by Alba Rohrwacher, who has provided narration as an older version of the character looking back on her life over the course of the series. The first three seasons of “My Brilliant Friend” have starred Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace in the central roles of Elena and Lila, with Elisa Del Genio and Ludovica Nasti playing the characters as younger children during the first season.
