Italian crime drama ‘Lolita Lobosco’ is heading back to C4 Streaming for season 2 courtesy of Walter Presents.
The series stars Luisa Ranieri, Bianca Nappi, Giovanni Ludeno and Jacopo Cullin. It is directed by Luca Miniero and written by Daniela Gambaro, Massimo Gaudioso and Massimo Reale.
Our confident and instinctive Deputy Superintendent Lolita Lobosco has settled back into her hometown Bari to tackle crime, but these are difficult ahead days for Lolita, with relationship problems and can she get any closer to solving the truth about her father’s murder?
Lolita’s looks are probably as much a hindrance as they are an advantage in her job. As she says in the opening credits, “it’s been 50 years since the first woman joined the police force, and it’s still not an easy task. Especially when you’re 40, wear a 38” bra and are called Lolita.”
In charge of a men-only team she chooses to remain herself against all the odds, and uses her skills and devotion to fight prejudices. In each investigations she is accompanied by a series of supporting characters including agent Lello Esposito and the chief inspector Antonio Forte, her former schoolmate who has always been secretly in love with her. The crimes she investiages in the series oscillate between the dramatic and the comic.
Episode one, Lolita and Danilo’s dream vacation in Egypt is postponed due to a tragic accident: a young couple has died during a scuba diving excursion. Soon, Lolita realises that something is not right about the tragedy.
Walter Presents: ‘Lolita Lobosco’ will be released as a boxset on C4 Streaming on 2nd AUgust 2024.
