Get ready to party! Netflix has revealed a wild teaser trailer for their raunchy upcoming series called The Decameron, created by TV writer Kathleen Jordan. “You’re invited to the party of the 14th century.” The series is very loosely inspired by the 14-century story collection The Decameron, and is described as a soapy dark comedy. When The Black Death strikes hard in the Italian countryside in 1348, a handful of nobles retreat to a grand villa with their servants. But what starts as a wine-soaked sex romp descends into a race for survival. The series examines the all-too-timely theme of class struggles in the season of a pandemic, as a cast of misfits tries to outlast the bubonic plague pandemic in 1348 Florence. “When something like a plague comes along, the ground goes even,” Tony Hale explains. “So what am I investing in? What relationships am I investing in? How am I treating people? That’s the stuff that matters.” The Decameron stars Tony Hale (with long hair & a beard!), Zosia Mamet, Saoirse Monica-Jackson, Tanya Reynolds, Karan Gill, Douggie McMeekin, Jessica Plummer, and more. This looks like it might be a debaucherous good time.
