The story of the founding of Rome is being told over ten episodes in the new Sky original Romulus, which sees Matteo Rovere (Italian Race, The First King) making his debut as a director for television.
Produced by Sky, Cattleya and Groenlandia, the drama will begin filming in Rome in early June and will continue for 28 weeks in the Italian capital and its surroundings. The cast includes Andrea Arcangeli (The Startup, Trust), Marianna Fontana (Indivisible, Capri-Revolution) and Francesco Di Napoli (Piranhas).
The story of survival is directed by Rovere, as well as Michele Alhaique (Non Uccidere, Senza Nessuna Pietà) and Enrico Maria Artale (The Third Half). The scripts are written by Filippo Gravino (Italian Race, Alaska, Fiore, The First King), Guido Iuculano (A Quiet Life, Anything Can Happen, A Stroke of Luck, Alaska) and Rovere.
