Accidental Gigolo 2 – The sex guru (Italian comedy TV series) – release date 2 January

In this second season, father and son are faced with new hilarious adventures and a conflictual relationship with comical implications. The Bremers’ business is in danger: a revolution is coming and her name is Rossana Astri (Sabrina Ferilli), a famous feminist guru who teaches women to do without men. His subversive ideas will put Giacomo’s (Christian De Sica) business and Alfonso’s (Pietro Sermonti) private life at risk, especially when Margherita (Ambra Angiolini) becomes one of his most devoted followers. Forced once again to help his father, Alfonso finds himself in the middle of a war between the sexes that ironically brings out the hidden desires of women and the disarming difficulty of men in keeping up with them.
