Rai considers reviving popular drama 'Un medico in famiglia

Producer Verdiana Bixio said the script for a new season of the long‑running Rai drama *Un medico in famiglia* has been completed and is now awaiting the broadcaster’s decision. She explained that the rollout depends on strategic choices and the shrinking budget for fiction at Rai, noting that “the Rai is a very complex world and decisions are not made purely on personal taste.”

Lead actor Lino Banfi has reiterated his willingness to return as the beloved character nonno Libero. The series still enjoys strong audience interest, with over 750,000 on‑demand views and roughly 13 million contacts across its recent episodes, according to Bixio.

The possible revival hinges on Rai’s assessment of both editorial fit and resource allocation.
