The story of the new series will take place in Italy and San Marino. The series is set to have its world premiere on Italy's RTI channel next spring. MIPCOM is the world's largest international trade event for video content, particularly for television programs.
RTI\Mediaset has life-long right to the older TV series, too.
Also, Italy has the best Lupin OP ever.
