Adrian (formerly known as Adrian - La serie evento and briefly as Adriano) is a 2019 Italian animated series created and written by singer Adriano Celentano. Vincenzo Cerami oversaw the screenplay, comic artist Milo Manara developed the character design and Nicola Piovani wrote the original soundtrack. Along with Celentano, students of Holden School of Alessandro Baricco took part to the series. It has been produced by Claudia Mori for Clan Celentano and its production lasted more than 10 years: announced in 2009 and initially destined for Sky, Adrian had been delayed several times due to contrasts between Clan Celentano and the production companies chosen for the realization of the cartoon, forcing Sky to reject the contract with Clan in 2012 because of the continuous delays. The project was then taken by Mediaset in 2015. The budget was about €28 million, and the cartoon was completed for Canale 5 in January 2019. Animations were made by thousands of animators in three continents (Asia, Africa and Europe) and they included more than 10,000 scenes. 26 episodes lasting about 22 minutes had been produced but then they had been edited in 9 episodes lasting about 55–70 minutes each, ...

Adrian Seasons and Episodes

01/21/2019Season 1 - 9 episodes
2068: in a dystopic Milan, a simple watchmaker called Adrian takes on a corrupt regime, assuming various identities with the aim of awakening popular consciences.
#1 | 01/21/2019Episode 1
A simple watchmaker named Adrian stirs the homologated consciences of the people during the New Year's Eve concert and becomes a revolutionary symbol -- but also a target for those in power.
#2 | 01/22/2019Episode 2
Orso and Carbone continue their hunt of the mysterious "Watchmaker", joined by a Swiss watch-making company that decides (as a publicity stunt) to put a 1 million euros bounty on his head. Meanwhile, Adrian rescues two girls from a rape attempt by turning into the "Fox", a masked vigilante. When the Regime decides to describe the Fox as a criminal, one of the two girls defies the official narrative by speaking up on newspapers.
#3 | 01/28/2019Episode 3
All attempts by the Regime and Lamouche to discover the true identity of the Watchmaker fail miserably. However, with a stroke of luck, Orso and Carbone manage to follow Gilda to the house on Via Gluck. Adrian thus forces the two men to come to terms: "Darian" is born, an old and deformed hunchback that becomes the "real" face of the Watchmaker. The only one who is not convinced is Gilda, who considers Darian an impostor and a puppet of the Regime.
#4 | 02/04/2019Episode 4
The Regime offers Darian a daily strip on television in order to keep him under control, but the Watchmaker deserts the program. Adrian, meanwhile, frees Milan Cathedral from its advertising coverage, triggering other acts of emulation in the rest of the country. Draghenstein takes advantage of the situation to unleash chaos and blame the Watchmaker for the disorders, while the High Commissioner offers Johnny Silver the chance to record a new album and recover his fame, if he agrees to kill Darian.
#5 | 11/07/2019Episode 5
Darian, helped by Marco, Johnny Silver, Orso and Carbone, starts a pirate television with the aim of awakening popular consciences. Meanwhile, Dranghestein pressures the government to pass more liberticidal measures, up to the murder of a dissenting MP. Gilda is attacked, but the Fox saves her. Pirate TV attacks, in order not to be easily traceable, take place from all over Italy.
#6 | 11/14/2019Episode 6
Dranghestein continues his offensive against the Watchmaker, prompting the Government to impose a curfew and infiltrating a man of his in the group of Milan University students who befriended Darian. The Fox saves from a trap MP Gallotti, who becomes the most vocal critic of the Government. However, the infiltrator manages to locate Darian's farmhouse and get him arrested. While Orso and Carbone reveal everything to Gilda, Darian manages with a ploy to go live from prison.
#7 | 11/21/2019Episode 7
The images live from prison of the beating of Darian leads the protesters to continue their actions, with some rebels trying to bring the mayor of Milan on their side. Gilda devises a plan to free Darian, but he manages to escape from prison on his own. During the escape, Adrian manages to save a girl from three delinquents, but succumbs in the fight and loses his memory. He is thus found by Toni, a former-surgeon-turned-tramp, who takes care of him.
#8 | 11/28/2019Episode 8
Two weeks after the evasion, Adrian recovered physically, but he still doesn't remember who he is. When criminals attack Don Virgilio for stealing alms, however, Adrian recovers the memory and the identity of the Fox, beating the criminals to a pulp, while a sudden earthquake causes the skyscrapers surrounding the church to collapse. While the Power votes a new "anti-terrorism" law (with which all the constraints to the construction of new buildings are also eliminated), Darian interrupts the football derby between North and South, the rebels launch the "consumers' strike" and the mayor of Milan takes sides with the rebels.
#9 | 12/05/2019Episode 9
The mayor of Milan launches a referendum to demolish the new Palazzo del Potere, Adrian reveals his true identity to Marco and Johnny, while Dranghestein organizes a series of increasingly serious attacks, blaming Darian and his "terrorist network". The Head of Government, seized by scruples, decides to call Darian for help. The last and most serious of the attacks will take place in a primary school: together with the Head of Government, Darian and Johnny Silver save the children, but they die in the explosion. After the funeral, Dranghestein kidnaps Gilda and Marco and Johnny's girlfriends, but it turns out that Adrian did not die in the explosion and faces his nemesis in a duel to the death. After the victory, all the horrible skyscrapers built fall as if by magic and Italy reconstructs its life around beauty.
