With the episode ‘Ah amore amore’, aired on Rai2 on Wednesday 24 March 2021, the fourth season by ‘Rocco Schiavone’. And fans are already starting to miss the popular assistant superintendent played by Marco Giallini. So, a few hours after the finale aired, the public is wondering if there will be a season number five that brings back to the screen the gruff character born from the pen of Antonio Manzini (the novels are published by Sellerio Editore).
In four years, the noir and detective series of the second Rai channel has conquered millions of viewers and the network would have every interest in extend a title with above average ratings for Rai2. However, so far, a new series of unreleased episodes is not yet planned and the difficulty to make predictions comes from novels.
The Aostan saga, in fact, is currently at a standstill in 2020 with the publication of the latest story entitled ‘Love in the time of Covid-19’. The volume was written with a solidarity purpose for support the Spallanzani hospital of Rome committed to tackling the pandemic. This latest investigation by Schiavone does not appear to be the subject of new scripts which, among other things, are signed by Manzini himself together with Maurizio Careddu.
In essence, therefore, we can only assume that the series continues but the plot is still to be invented on the narrative level. Romano deeply, the deputy commissioner of the State Police works in Aosta for disciplinary reasons and the sarcastic cynicism that he puts into play in every survey make it the main feature.
“I have always been convinced that what distinguishes Rocco Schiavone is the suo warm and suffering heart in contrast with the environment that surrounds it, winter and gloomy “. So the director of the fourth season Simone Spada outlined his protagonist, rightfully entered in the hearts of many Italians who are now cheering for his return.
