Netflix is embracing the dirty side of the dark ages with the first trailer for “The Decameron,” Kathleen Jordan’s upcoming comedy that’s also executive produced by Jenji Kohan. The Netflix original premieres on July 25.
Filled with shots of sickly people coughing, the trailer starts with a title card placing this series in the middle of the Black Plague in 1348 Florence, Italy. As death fills the streets, the series zooms in on the privileged, healthy and wealthy nobles as they travel to their countryside retreat in Villa Santa.
“We’re here to eat and drink and move into a bright new future,” Pampinea (Zosia Mamet) says in the trailer.
