Five girls and boys with as many superpowers. The TV series “We are legend” shown by Lucca Comics & Games will appear in prime time on Rai 2 and RaiPlay from Wednesday, November 22nd. The new, imaginative teen drama – directed by Carmine Elia (“Mare Fuori”, “Survivors”), based on an idea by Valerio D’Annunzio and Michelangelo La Neve – is a co-production of Rai Fiction and Fabula Pictures, produced by Nicola and Marco De Angelis, in collaboration with Prime Video, which tells the stories of a group of teenagers who suddenly discover that they are blessed with superpowers. The cast includes Emanuele Di Stefano, Nicolas Maupas, Giacomo Giorgio, Beatrice Vendramin, Giulio Pranno, Valentina Romani, Milo Roussel, Sofya Gershevich, Margherita Aresti, Giulia Lin, Claudia Pandolfi, Antonia Liskova and Lino Guanciale.
Five boys, their world and their extraordinary powers, which are rooted in their deepest fears and desires and can turn their lives upside down. A coming-of-age that combines drama, action and irony in an original narrative, capable of renewing and rewriting the canon of young adult superhero stories. No hyperbolic missions, no universes to save or supervillains to fight. A coming-of-age story in which superpowers become a metaphor for the difficulties teenagers face. A moving, powerful, funny and disturbing fresco of a society – ours – and a bracket of life – youth – where everyone dreamed at least once of having superpowers.
Published on December 12th by Rai Libri, the fan book is dedicated to the series: a series of stage photos and stolen backstage footage, as well as a selection of quizzes and puzzles inspired by “We are legend”.
