Italian streaming services slate expansions

Entities: Can Yaman · Mediaset · Carlo Acutis · Emmy Rossum · Disney+

Overview

In late June 2026 Paramount+ and Netflix rolled out new sci‑fi, espionage, drama and reality‑style titles for Italy. Prime Video marked its ten‑year anniversary in Italy with a Rome event on 9 July, unveiling a broader 2026‑2027 slate aimed at young women that added a psychological thriller, rom‑com, heist film, comedy, revenge drama and continuations of local formats. Netflix refreshed its Italian catalogue on the weekend of 17 July with a teen drama sequel, a socially‑charged Mediterranean rescue drama and a psychological thriller, alongside a slate of recent films.

The momentum continued at the end of July. Mediaset announced a new fiction season that will include the biopic drama “Il mio nome è Carlo,” depicting the life of the canonised Milanese teenager Carlo Acutis, scheduled for an October broadcast, and a secret‑agent adventure “Il Labirinto delle Farfalle.” Disney+ and Sky Investigation added thriller offerings: Disney+ debuted “Furious,” an eight‑episode psychological chase starring Emmy Rossum, while “Paris Has Fallen” follows a special‑forces agent and an MI6 operative investigating a terrorist attack in France. The classic procedural “Law & Order” also returned for its 25th season on Italian platforms.

These announcements illustrate a sustained, competitive push by both global streaming platforms and domestic broadcasters to expand Italian‑language content across a wide range of genres, reinforcing the sector’s rapid diversification throughout mid‑2026.
