AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF THE ACCLAIMED ITALIAN CRIME SERIES "GOMORRAH" AIRS ON SUNDANCE WEDNESDAY, MAY 17 AT 10/9C

An all-new episode of SundanceTV's acclaimed Italian crime series, "GOMORRAH" airs on Wednesday, May 17 at 10/9C. Italy's most popular television series of all time, "GOMORRAH" is based on the best-selling book by journalist Roberto Saviano. The novel has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and inspired the film Gomorrah, which won the 2008 Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. On the seventh episode, "Poison," Don Pietro, determined to break up the alliance, decides to target O'Principe the most respected and successful of all the bosses. After his love interest abandons him, O'Principe starts to neglect his safety precautions and becomes desperate. Pietro acts on this moment of weakness to make his move.

Based on the book by Roberto Saviano, "GOMORRAH" picks up moments after the end of the first season: Pietro has escaped from the prison van; Genny's boys have been downed in Conte's ambush; and Ciro has shot Genny. The era of the Savastano clan, which once reigned supreme over Naples, seems to be definitively over, and many compete for what was once the Savastano Empire. Only one thing is certain: the future will belong to the one who can tighten the bonds of power most forcefully. 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.
