From Tom Hindle’s Novel to the Screen
Currently operating under a working title, the series is an adaptation of Murder on Lake Garda by British author Tom Hindle, a Sunday Times bestseller published in Italy by Bompiani. The script is led by head writer Alessandro Fabbri, along with Ilaria Macchia, Gianluca Bernardini, and Laura Colella. Produced by The Apartment (a Fremantle company), the show will stream exclusively on Disney+, though a release date has not yet been announced.
Director Laura Bispuri, known for winning a David di Donatello award and competing at the Berlin Film Festival with Sworn Virgin and Daughter of Mine, leads the ambitious project.
