Overview
- RAI confirms Spacey leads the ten-episode comedy Minimarket, with five episodes on RaiPlay on December 26 and the remainder due in January.
- He plays an imagined version of himself as an Oscar-winning mentor who appears to protagonist Manlio Viganò, portrayed by creator Filippo Laganà.
- Variety characterizes the series as a low-budget production set around a small shop near RAI’s headquarters in Rome.
- A promo video shows Spacey singing, including Randy Newman’s You’ve Got a Friend in Me and Frank Sinatra’s I’ve Got You Under My Skin in duet with Laganà.
- The comeback follows a 2022 not-liable finding in New York and a 2023 UK acquittal, while three civil claims are slated for a London hearing next year, two of which he has formally denied.
