The recently released trailer for Gomorrah Season 5 revealed that the lead character, Ciro, is alive. As he prepares to hunt down his enemies, the video follows massive explosions, violence and gunshots.
The official synopsis of Season 5 reads:
“The HBO Max Original Gomorrah tells the story of the clash between the Levantes and Patrizia left Naples in a pile of bricks, forcing Genny (Salvatore Esposito) to return to action.”
It further mentions:
“But with the police hot on Genny’s heels, he is forced into a bunker alone without Azzurra (Ivana Lotito) and Little Pietro. Now, his only ally is ’O Maestrale (Mimmo Borrelli), the mysterious crime boss of Ponticelli, an eastern district of Naples. War is imminent, and his enemies are fierce.”

The first two seasons of the series premiered on SundanceTV. After it became a huge success across the globe, the crime TV show moved to HBO Max from Season 3.
