The first teaser of Niccolò Ammaniti’s new drama series “Anna” was released today. Created and directed by Ammaniti, the series is inspired by the eponymous novel, one of the author’s best-loved to date, published in Italy by Einaudi.

“Anna” is the second television project penned by the Strega-award-winning writer, again with Sky, in the wake of the success of “The Miracle”. The Sky Original series, commissioned by Sky Studios for Sky Italia, is produced by Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli with Lorenzo Gangarossa for Wildside, a Fremantle company, in co-production with ARTE France, The New Life Company, and Kwaï. International distribution is handled by Fremantle.

“Anna” is a dystopian story of a ravaged world destroyed by a virus which kills adults but spares children. Newcomer Giulia Dragotto plays the lead role of the teenager who sets off in search of her kidnapped brother, Astor – played by Alessandro Pecorella. Set amongst parched fields and mysterious forests, the crumbling hulks of shopping malls and abandoned cities, in deserted wide-open spaces on an island reclaimed by nature and savage communities of survivors, Anna only has one guide: the exercise book her mother left her with instructions on how to survive. But with each passing day she discovers that the old rules no longer apply, and instead has to make up new ones as she goes along.
