Da Grandi film to broadcast on Canale 5

The Italian comedy film ‘Da Grandi’, directed by Fausto Brizzi, is scheduled to broadcast on Canale 5 on Thursday, August 27, 2026. The film is a 2023 production that reimagines the concept of the 1987 comedy ‘Da Grande’.

The story follows four inseparable nine-year-old friends—Marco, Tato, Serena, and Leo—who struggle with various family issues and a desire to be treated like adults. In a surreal turn of events, the children suddenly find themselves in adult bodies while retaining their childhood personalities and memories. This transformation leads to a series of comedic situations as they navigate the complexities and responsibilities of adulthood.

The adult versions of the protagonists are portrayed by Enrico Brignano, Paolo Kessisoglu, Ilenia Pastorelli, and Luca Bizzarri. Filming for the production took place primarily in Rome and the Lazio region.
