#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “MUSSOLINI: SON OF THE CENTURY”

MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, is pleased to announce the streaming release date for Joe Wright’s Mussolini: Son of the Century. The acclaimed historical series will debut its first two episodes on MUBI’s streaming platform on September 10, 2025 – exclusively in North America, Latin America, Belgium, Luxembourg, Turkey, India, and New Zealand.

The eight-part series will premiere new episodes weekly through October 22, 2025.

Based on the bestselling book by Antonio Scurati and directed by BAFTA-winning Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Darkest Hour), the series stars Luca Marinelli (Martin Eden, The Eight Mountains, The Old Guard) in the titular role of Benito Mussolini.

Written by Stefano Bises (Gomorrah – The Series, The New Pope, ZeroZeroZero) and Davide Serino (1992, 1993, The King), with an original soundtrack by Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers, Mussolini: Son of the Century is a scathing contemporary portrait of Mussolini and his political rise, from the formation of the irregular militia of the Fasces of Combat to the imposition of the most ferocious dictatorships Italy has ever known.

Mussolini: Son of the Century, is produced by Sky Studios and Lorenzo Mieli for The Apartment Pictures, a Fremantle company, in co-production with Pathé, in association with Small Forward Productions, in collaboration with Fremantle, Cinecittà S.p.A., and Sky.

Mussolini: Son of the Century adds to MUBI’s growing focus on presenting series alongside films on the streaming platform, in addition to the recently announced Wong Kar Wai series, Blossoms Shanghai, due for release in 2026.
