Riv4lries (stylized in all caps; Italian: Riv4li) is an Italian coming-of-age television series created by Simona Ercolani and spin-off of the series Di4ries.[1] It premiered on Netflix on 1 October 2025.[2][3]
Plot
The series tells the story of class 3D.[4] At the center of attention are two rival groups: the Insiders, led by the popular Claudio and his best friend Dario, and the Outsiders, a new clique centered on the bold Terry, who has just arrived at the school from Rome and her new best friend Marzia, the class "nerd". A real conflict breaks out between the two groups, so intense that it seems as if an invisible wall divides the school into two factions. But little by little, Claudio, Terry, Dario, Marzia and their classmates – including Sabrina, Luca, Alessio and Paolo – realize that arguing and distancing themselves is not the right path. Only together can they break down the walls between them, both physical and emotional.[5]
