Description:
Netflix has released a steamy teaser trailer for a new medieval series that 
looks like a corrupt Love Island.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Netflix has released a saucy teaser trailer (see below) for a new dark comedy 
called The Decameron that looks like an episode of Love Island set in the 
14th century  and if it's anything like the best Netflix show Bridgerton, 
this might mean we have a new hit on our hands. 

The new show , which lands on the worlds best streaming service on July 25, 
examines the class struggles during a pandemic as a group of misfits try to 
survive the bubonic plague in 1348 Florence. 

The eight-episode series has a star-studded cast, including Tony Hale ( 
Arrested Development ), Zosia Mamet ( The Flight Attendant ), Saoirse 
Monica-Jackson ( Derry Girls ) and Tanya Reynolds ( Sex Education ). 

Confirming the parallels that the new series has to one of todays most 
popular reality dating shows, Jessica Plummer ( The Girl Before ), who plays 
noble Filomena, told Netflix Tudum : Think, like, Love Island , but back in 
the day. A lot of drama, a lot of sex, a lot of, yeah, craziness. The 
Decameron - what we know so far 

The teaser trailer invites you to the party of the 14th century as the rich 
revellers indulge themselves at Villa Santa while New Orders Blue Monday 
plays over their raunchy antics. However, the fun soon comes to an end when 
partygoers start to fall ill and morals are thrown out of the window. 

 The Decameron is loosely based on Giovanni Boccaccios short story collection 
of the same name, which tells the story of a group of nobles and their 
servants sheltering from the Black Death in the opulent Villa Santa outside 
Florence where they tell each other funny and sinful stories to pass the 
time. 

Although the Netflix series follows a similar plot, theres a twist involved, 
which Netflix Tudum explains in the premise: The series has a similar 
premise, but with a twist right out of Lord of the Flies  as time goes on and 
social rules wear thin, the orgy of riches and liquor collapses into a 
struggle for survival. Wealthy citizens escaping a plague by engaging in a 
lavish and insular display of wealth? Doesnt sound like this could be 
relevant at all! You might also like The Mole season 2 is coming to Netflix
