Netflix Greenlights New Chapter of The Monster of Florence

Centering on Pietro Pacciani, the three-episode chapter expands the series into a suspect-by-suspect anthology with production underway in Italy.

Overview

  • Netflix officially greenlit a three-episode follow-up to the four-part first chapter, with outlets reporting the announcement and production status on Friday, June 26, 2026.
  • Director Stefano Sollima returned to lead the new chapter, reuniting with co-creator/writer Leonardo Fasoli and cinematographer Paolo Carnera under Wildside and Sollima’s AlterEgo banner.
  • The installment shifts focus from the earlier “Sardinian lead” to the contested “Snack Buddies” line of inquiry and centers on Pietro Pacciani, the farmer convicted in 1994 whose verdict was overturned on appeal and who died before a retrial.
  • Shooting is underway in Italy, though Netflix has not set a premiere date; industry outlets note a likely 2027 release window based on current production but describe that timing as speculative.
  • The project continues the show’s planned anthology approach and reopens a decades-long, disputed investigation that could prompt renewed public interest and scrutiny of the historical case and court records.
