Believing she lost her own identity when she took her husband&#8217;s name, Lila (Gaia Girace) is defiant in her marriage as their world continues to orbit around the Solara family, while model student Elena comes to realize that she is not happy inside or outside her neighborhood. During a holiday in Ischia, the two girls reunite with their old childhood acquaintance Nino Sarratore (Francesco Serpico), now a university student with great expectations. The seemingly random encounter will forever change the nature of their bond, projecting the girls into two completely different worlds. Lila becomes a skillful sales assistant in the elegant shoe shop in central Naples owned by the powerful Solara family, and Elena obstinately continues her studies as she prepares to attend university in Pisa. As their worlds expand and they&#8217;re forced to deal with more adult and complex problems, Elena and Lila fight to find their place in the rapidly changing Italy of the 60s, while their fraught relationship continues to vacillate between love and contempt.<\/p>\n<p>The first season of MY BRILLIANT FRIEND received rave reviews when it debuted in 2018, with Time calling the series, &#8220;everything the adaptation of a great book should be,&#8221; the Boston Globe hailing it as, &#8220;insightful and clear-eyed,&#8221; and the Wall Street Journal declaring the show, &#8220;a stunning achievement.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on Elena Ferrante&#8217;s second book of her four-part series, MY BRILLIANT FRIEND: THE STORY OF A NEW NAME, debuting MONDAY, MARCH 16 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET\/PT), follows Elena and Lila&#8217;s journey into adulthood as they weather romance, heartbreak, success and betrayal.
