We had seen Sabrina Impacciatore busy filming her episode at the Lido of Venice on the occasion of the Venice Film Festival, but now the time has come for the debut, on March 22nd, of the second season of Call My Agent - Italia, the Sky Original series remake of the cult Dix pour cent, exclusively on Sky (and streaming only on NOW) with six new chapters presented to the press today in Rome.
With her, in the Sky Studios and Palomar production on secrets, foibles, vices and virtues of the protagonists of the world of entertainment, directed by Luca Ribuoli and written by Lisa Nur Sultan with Federico Baccomo and Dario D'Amato, as a guest star in the role of Valeria Golino and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi will also be there in the first episode (busy filming a film with a disastrous script), Gabriele Muccino, a real earthquake ("cinema is failing and no one has understood shit", he says) and Gian Marco Tognazzi, and followed by Claudio Santamaria (willing to do anything to get a role that is close to his heart), Serena Rossi and Davide Devenuto (dealing with a marathon of interviews and unspeakable secrets) and Elodie;
the last episode will be that of Impacciatore in Venice.
"Fiorello is a big fan of Call My Agent, he was contacted but at the moment he said no", revealed Nils Hartman, EVP Sky Studios Italia, who announced that they are thinking about a third season and relaunched: "We are here, Fiorello, we are waiting for you".
And Sara Drago: "In case I'll be his agent!".
It's a shame that Lisa Nur Sultan says that she won't be there: "It was very tiring to write this season and that's the reason why I won't write the third, I don't have the vocation to martyrdom. The French author did it for three years who created it, for me two are enough."
Michele Di Mauro, Sara Drago, Maurizio Lastrico and the recently deceased Marzia Ubaldi return, to whom the first episode will be dedicated, again in the roles of Vittorio, Lea, Gabriele and Elvira, talented, tireless and passionate agents of some of the greatest names from the world of Italian entertainment.
And their assistants: Monica (Sara Lazzaro) Pierpaolo (Francesco Russo) and Camilla (Paola Buratto).
And also Kaze, in the role of Sofia, the agency receptionist, and Emanuela Fanelli in the role of one of the most extravagant actresses of the CMA, Luana Pericoli, still struggling with her "favorite actor", Corrado Guzzanti.
The conference opened in Rome with images from the set in homage to Marzia Ubaldi (Elvira).
Hartmann underlined: "The first season was a challenge, we brought home an indisputable success with audiences and critics. In the second we found our identity".
The second season was also a great commitment for director Luca Ribuoli: "The writing was moving towards a change, a greater independence was sought compared to the original series,
also because the years pass, and we all participated in this." "I would never have imagined filming in Venice, during the Festival." "An Italian world has been created that makes us forget the original format, it was a great television idea", explained Degli Esposti. Lisa Nur Sultan again: "The challenge was to bring something adult into a comic, we tried to tell with different codes even the darkest nuances of behind the scenes, because they are there, and the relationships of the protagonists". The protagonists promise to return to entertain by revealing new aspects of the behind the scenes of the entertainment world. Lights and shadows, humor and glamour. At the center again are the vicissitudes of the CMA, the Claudio Maiorana Agency, an imaginary entertainment agency based in Rome, and the misadventures of his partners, always grappling with the careers of the greatest showbiz protagonists and ready for new challenges. For Michele Di Mauro, "Vittorio has a family that is crumbling, while with his daughter Paola the relationship it strengthens.
The horizon is not just fun, but there is also seriousness." Sara Drago again: "The writing goes into a dimension of discovery of the characters, letting their fragility and humanity emerge.
Lea wonders how much space she has dedicated to love and work and she is overwhelmed by this question, as if the conflict surprises her.
She compares herself a lot with Gabriele, who this time has him to teach her.
It was nice to find a softness and fragility." Lastrico said: "Valeria Bruni Tedeschi on stage, in a moment of anger for the character, starts calling her mother, something that wasn't written in the script.
Elodie was wonderful... The series requires rigor, but what comes from outside is welcome."
