Netflix has scheduled a March 6 premiere date for “Supersex,” a series loosely based on the real life of worldwide porn star Rocco Siffredi, who has over 1,500 hardcore flicks to his name.
The series was produced and written by acclaimed Italian screenwriter Francesca Manieri, who is recognised as a radical feminist. It is described in promotional materials as a profound story that runs through Siffredi’s life since childhood and looks at his family, “his relationship with love” and how “Rocco Tano — a simple guy from Ortona, became Rocco Siffredi, the most famous pornstar in the world.”
At the heart of ‘Supersex’, which is being produced by Lorenzo Mieli’s The Apartment, a Fremantle company, and Groenlandia, a Banijay group firm, are unknown parts of the Italian porn star, played by Italian A-lister Alessandro Borghi (“The Eight Mountains”).
Along with Borghi as Siffredi, the highly anticipated show stars Jasmine Trinca (“Honey”), a member of the 2022 Cannes jury, as Lucia, a fictional female character “who represents a synthesis of most women with whom Rocco had a relationship in his life,” according to the synopsis. Adriano Giannini (“Adagio”) plays Tommaso, Rocco’s half-brother, and Saul Nanni (“Love&Gelato”) portrays Rocco as a young man. Other cast members include Enrico Borello, Vincenzo Nemolato, Gaia Messerklinger as female Italian porn actress Moana Pozzi, Jade Pedri, and Linda Caridi (“Last Night of Amore”).
