Makari 4, the fourth season of the popular Italian television series, premieres on Rai 1 on October 19, 2025, continuing the adventures of journalist-investigator Saverio Lamanna portrayed by Claudio Gioè. The new season maintains the signature blend of mystery and character-driven storytelling that has defined the series, with directors Monica Vullo and Riccardo Mosca returning to helm the production. This installment consists of four episodes, maintaining the compact format that has proven successful with audiences.
The narrative follows Saverio as he continues his tendency to involve himself in police investigations, assisted by his loyal companion Piccionello, played by Domenico Centamore. However, this season introduces significant personal challenges that disrupt the protagonist's established routines. His relationship with Suleima, portrayed by Ester Pantano, faces strain as she departs from Makari to pursue career opportunities, creating emotional distance between the characters.
A major development in Saverio's personal life arrives with the unexpected appearance of Arianna, a rebellious 14-year-old portrayed by new cast member Giovanna Rosace. The teenager is entrusted to Saverio's care by Claudia, his former girlfriend who is preparing to depart for Antarctica. This new responsibility forces the journalist to confront paternal instincts and adapt to unexpected guardianship, adding layers to his character development throughout the season.
The returning ensemble cast includes Antonella Attili as Marilù, Filippo Luna as Vicequestore Randone, Serena Iansiti as Michela, Eurydice El-Etr as Azrah, Eugenio Franceschini as Giulio, and Tuccio Musumeci as Saverio's father. The season premiere, titled 'Ferragosto è Capo d'Inverno,' establishes both the investigative elements and personal storylines that will unfold across the four episodes, blending standalone cases with ongoing character arcs set against the scenic backdrop of western Sicily.
