My Brilliant Friend season 3 Cast
We will primarily be talking about the cast who will play the characters of Elena & Lila. Elisa del Genio played Elena’s younger incarnation in seasons 1 and 2, while Margherita Mazzucco played her adolescent version.
Elisabetta De Palo appeared in a guest role in the show, portraying a senior and older version of Elena.
Gaia Girace takes on the part of Lila’s character in her adolescent form, while Ludovica portrays Lila in her younger embodiment.
Elena and Lila’s characters will be completely grown grown-ups in Season 3 and will lead truly different lives. So we can expect some new faces getting introduced in season 3 of the show. Gaia Girace is said to be leaving the role of Lila after the third season’s third episode. Now, how Lila’s adulthood will be portrayed is unknown; it appears that we will have to wait for the series to witness this.
Similarly, some new faces will replace the role of Margherita Mazzucco as Elena in her adulthood.
At last, we suggest that you should watch this series. The upcoming season will be set in 1970s Italy, and if you can handle the subtitles, you should give it a shot.
