Among the exciting new titles unveiled at the Prime Video Presents Italia 2026 event is Bro, a buddy comedy starring Can Yaman and Giovanni Nasta as two polar-opposite brothers. Here is the plot and everything we know so far about the upcoming series.
Move over, action heroes and heartthrobs. After winning over audiences with his romantic and action-packed roles, Can Yaman is ready to surprise us. As rumored in recent months, the Turkish actor will headline Bro, Prime Video's new series officially announced today at the Prime Video Presents Italia 2026 showcase. The twist? In Bro, Yaman will play a lawyer grappling with a complicated family situation, taking on a role with distinct comedic undertones.
But there is more: starring alongside him will be Giovanni Nasta (pictured below at the event with director Riccardo Donna). The two are close friends off-screen and are reuniting after their shared experience on Viola come il mare. Here is the plot and all the sneak peeks revealed about the project so far.
Bro: Overview of Prime Video’s New Series Starring Can Yaman
Spanning eight episodes, Bro promises a blend of laughs, romance, and plot twists, all centered around the dynamic between two polar-opposite half-brothers. The protagonists, Riccardo and Nicola Ridolfi, are two lawyers who couldn't be more different but are forced to work together.
Riccardo, a brilliant attorney at the family firm, watches his life fall apart following a painful heartbreak. Nicola, on the other hand, is his exact opposite: seemingly an underdog, yet armed with irresistible charisma and a natural gift for connecting with people. When unforeseen circumstances force them to work side by side to save the family practice, the two forge a pact. This alliance pushes them to confront their own vulnerabilities and family ties, ultimately teaching them what it truly means to trust one another.
Navigating work, love, family tensions, and hilarious situations, Bro is a buddy comedy with a touch of romance. It blends humor and heart to chart the journey of two vastly different brothers discovering what it actually means to be "bros."
An Unprecedented Role for Can Yaman
This marks a brand-new type of role for Can Yaman, a stark departure from the characters that have made him famous in recent years. The Sandokan star will step into the shoes of a lawyer, leaving behind his classic romantic hero and action-star persona to tackle a more ironic, nuanced character. It is a career move Yaman himself hinted at months ago, explaining his desire to experiment with different genres and step away from exclusively playing the stereotypical "handsome leading man."
Reuniting with Giovanni Nasta
Bro also sets the stage for a delightful reunion between Can Yaman and Giovanni Nasta. Real-life friends, the two actors return to share the screen following their stint on Viola come il mare. This time, they are front and center as half-brothers forced to set aside their differences to achieve a common goal.
Cast, Directors, and Prime Video Release Date
Directed by Riccardo Donna and Tobia Campana, the series is co-produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Lux Vide, a Fremantle company. No further cast members have been announced at this time. Bro will stream exclusively on Prime Video worldwide, though an official release date has yet to be confirmed.
