Supersex Series About Porn Star Rocco Siffredi Sets Netflix Premiere Date

Posted by Aldo Pusey on Wednesday, August 14, 2024

Netflix has set a March 6 premiere date for “Supersex,” the series freely inspired by the real life of global porn star Rocco Siffredi, who has more than 1,500 hardcore films to his name.

The series is created and written by prominent Italian screenwriter Francesca Manieri (“We Are Who We Are,” “L’Immensità”) who is known to be a militant 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 [a small town in central Italy] — became Rocco Siffredi, the most famous pornstar in the world.”

At the center of “Supersex” – which is being produced by Lorenzo Mieli’s The Apartment, a Fremantle company, and Groenlandia, which is part of the Banijay group – are unknown aspects of the Italian porn star, who is being played by Italian A-lister Alessandro Borghi (“The Eight Mountains”).

Alongside Borghi as Siffredi, the hotly anticipated show features Jasmine Trinca (“Honey”), who was a member of the 2022 Cannes jury and plays Lucia, a fictional female character “who represents a synthesis of most women with whom Rocco had a relationship in his life,” according to the provided synopsis. Adriano Giannini (“Adagio”) plays Tommaso, Rocco’s half-brother, while Saul Nanni (“Love&Gelato”) plays Rocco as a young man. Other cast members are Enrico Borello; Vincenzo Nemolato; Gaia Messerklinger as female Italian porn star Moana Pozzi; Jade Pedri; and Linda Caridi (“Last Night of Amore”).
