The latest famous book or renowned film that’s on the block for Netflix is The Leopard, set to be released onto the streaming service in March 2025.

This luscious adaptation is set in 19th-century Sicily as the process of Risorgimento—Italian unification—is underway, bringing with it significant sociopolitical upheaval. The novel is tailor-made for such big-budget, lavish productions with beautifully bedecked ballrooms, rolling rural scenes, and sublime sartorial work for the characters.
