Domenica In returns with Mara Venier and new segments

The historic Italian variety and talk show Domenica In is preparing for a new season on Rai 1, set to premiere on September 27. Hosted by Mara Venier, the program aims to innovate its long-standing format to boost viewership.

Key updates for the upcoming season include a new segment titled ‘Il Pranzo della Domenica’. This feature will involve studio connections with Italian families during lunchtime to share personal stories and anecdotes, leaning into a ‘truth TV’ style.

The show will continue to focus on celebrity interviews, featuring four to five guests per episode from the worlds of cinema, music, and sport. The production also intends to incorporate elements related to food and talent, while maintaining its core identity as a Sunday afternoon staple.
