Netflix release of Italian series Maschi Veri

Overview

Netflix is scheduled to release the second season of the Italian ensemble comedy ‘Real Men’ (Maschi Veri) on October 7, 2026. The series, produced by Groenlandia, is an adaptation of the Spanish show ‘Machos Alfa’.

The new season follows the protagonists—Mattia, Massimo, Riccardo, and Luigi—as they navigate changing social dynamics, modern romance, and the deconstruction of toxic masculinity. The narrative explores themes of vulnerability and emotional evolution, with specific character arcs involving business losses, breakups, and the continuous process of personal growth.

The returning cast features Maurizio Lastrico, Matteo Martari, Francesco Montanari, and Pietro Sermonti, alongside Thony, Sarah Felberbaum, Laura Adriani, Alice Lupparelli, and Nicole Grimaudo. New ensemble members include Carolina Crescentini, Silvia D’Amico, Alessio Boni, Giancarlo Commare, and Ilenia Pastorelli.

As the premiere approaches, the series is noted for its focus on the practical challenges of applying social lessons regarding gender equality and vulnerability to real-world relationships.
