Netflix's new Italian series The Leopard is an absolute must-watch TV show for fans of opulent period dramas—not to mention a good love triangle. (We're looking at you, fans of The Empress.) Based on the famed Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa novel of the same name, the six-episode series takes place in 1860s Sicily, as the Italian people rise against the Spanish Bourbons to unify the country. Amongst a backdrop of revolution, Sicilian prince Fabrizio Corbera (better known as The Leopard) tries to protect his family and keep them together, even as romantic and political turmoil threaten to tear them apart.
The Leopard gathered a cast of Italy's rapidly rising stars, from a former Sydney Sweeney co-star to the daughter of Italian and French film loyalty. Read on to learn all about the cast of The Leopard, including which actors became a real-life couple offscreen.
