Zerocalcare's New Netflix Series 'Due Spicci' Drops in May
Netflix has announced the release of 'Due Spicci', the third animated series by Italian cartoonist Zerocalcare, set to premiere in May 2026. The teaser trailer reveals the show's tone and spirit, continuing the narrative style established in 'Strappare lungo i bordi' (2021), which followed protagonist Zero and friends Sarah and Secco on a journey of growth, friendship, memory, and confronting the past. Plot details remain under wraps, but familiar characters return, including the Armadillo—Zero's sarcastic, ruthless conscience—voiced again by actor Valerio Mastandrea. The series is produced by Netflix, marking the third collaboration with the Roman artist, whose popularity has surged since his animated debut in 2021, cementing his status in Italian pop culture. Zerocalcare's success is built on humor, generational unease, and everyday storytelling, with his comic works published by Bao Publishing.
