Derry Girls actor Saoirse-Monica Jackson’s new Netflix show The Decameron has an exciting new update as we now know that the show has begun filming in Rome, Italy.
The show, which is being filmed in Italy’s Cinecittà Studios, is an eight-episode series that is based on a collection of short stories of the same name written by 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. It will remain in production in the country for the next six months.
The Decameron is a period drama set all the way back in 1348 just as the Black Death is sweeping through Florence.
It follows a group of Florentine nobles, along with their servants, as they retreat to a grand villa in the Tuscany countryside to wait out the deadly plague.

The synopsis further explains how the story unfurls as their "wine-soaked sex romp away from the horrors of Bubonic Plague descends into a scramble to survive when the societal rules of the villa wear thin.”
The show was created by Kathleen Jordan. She will also serve as the showrunner and executive producer alongside Blake McCormick and Tara Herrmann. American Horror Story director Michael Uppendahl will direct the first four episodes.
The cast includes Girls star Zosia Mamet, who plays Pampinea, the soon-to-be lady of the villa who is hopeful but lacking in self-awareness and Tanya Reynolds, who plays Licisca, an obedient yet unpredictable servant devoted to the family she serves. Saoirse-Monica Jackson will play Misia, Pampinea's co-dependent servant and Karan Gill will play Panfilo, a young man from a prominent family in Florence.

Additional cast includes Amar Chadha-Patel as Dioneo, a physician who finds himself caught between classes due to his profession. Lou Gala stars as Neifile, the paradoxically god-fearing and highly lustful woman who is transformed by her time at the villa. Leila Farzad plays Stratilia, a reliable woman who serves as the backbone of the Villa Santa.
Tony Hale is Sirisco, a friendly but bumbling steward, Jessica Plummer will play Filomena, a spoiled brat who is described as an "oddball", despite the chip on her shoulder and finally Douggie McMeekin is rich and noble Tindaro.
A release date has not yet been revealed for the show.
