"Gomorrah," Italy's most popular television series of all time, is based on the best-selling book by journalist Roberto Saviano.

SundanceTV acquired seasons one and two from The Weinstein Company.

Each week, SundanceTV will feature two back-to-back episodes of the twelve installment season. In Part 2, "The Mother and Home," Don Pietro continues to manage his business affairs behind bars, but his position of power is compromised when he clashes with prison warden. Meanwhile, the Savastano clan finds itself at odds with their one-time allies.

Set in the suburbs of Naples, the series focuses on the inside story of the Camorra, the fierce Neapolitan crime organization, told through the eyes of Ciro Di Marzio (Marco D'Amore), the right hand of the clan's godfather, Pietro Savastano (Fortunato Cerlino). Produced by Sky Atlantic, Cattleya and Fandango in association with La7 and Beta Film, "Gomorrah" is written by Stefano Bises and directed by Stefano Sollima, Francesca Comencini and Claudio Cupellini. The series was developed for television by Giovanni Bianconi, Stefano Bises, Leonardo Fasoli, Ludovica Rampoldi and Roberto Saviano.
