After the sentence, with nothing left to lose, Nino decides to pull off a Machiavellian plan of revenge, becoming the "bad guy" into which he was unjustly transformed.

Produced by Nicola Giuliano, Francesca Cima and Carlotta Calori for Indigo Film, The Bad Guy will be available in 2022.

- Prisma : coming-of-age drama that revolves around the complex relationship between physical appearance and identity; especially for a generation that uses its image as its main tool to express itself.

Their journey of self-discovery will also involve their group of friends, all looking for their place in an ever-changing world. The series is created by Ludovico Bessegato and Alice Urciuolo, directed by Bessegato and produced by Rosario Rinaldo's Cross Productions, and will be available exclusively on Prime Video in Italy and abroad in 2022.

- Monterossi : investigative thriller in six episodes with a comic twist based on the popular detective novels by Alessandro Robecchi This is not a love song and Di rabbia e di vento (published by Sellerio).

The series revolves around Carlo Monterossi, played by Fabrizio Bentivoglio, a 50-year-old disillusioned television writer who owes his success to trashy programs he hates. When he decides to leave the world of TV forever, he becomes embroiled in a mysterious series of crimes.

In his search he will meet many eccentric characters, a few too many dead bodies and some truly incredible cases. The cast also includes Donatella Finocchiaro, Tommaso Ragno and Martina Sammarco. Monterossi is produced by Palomar, written by Davide Lantieri, Alessandro Robecchi and Roan Johnson, also director here, and will be available exclusively on Prime Video in Italy in 2022.
