Sicilia Express: Ficarra and Picone return with a new Christmas comedy series set in Noto

On December 5, 2025, Netflix will release Sicilia Express, the new comedy series by Ficarra and Picone, one of the most beloved duos in Italian comedy. After the success of their films and previous television projects, the two actors from Palermo bring their sharp and intelligent humor back to the screen in a festive setting.

The series is set against the unique landscapes of Sicily, with a central role for Noto, the baroque city and UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of the Val di Noto. The production highlights the historic center, squares and alleys that have already served as filming locations for international projects.

Sicilia Express combines Ficarra and Picone’s trademark humor with the atmosphere of Christmas traditions, creating an opportunity not only for laughter but also for reflection on family values and cultural roots. The return of Ficarra and Picone on Netflix is not only an event for comedy lovers, but also an important showcase for the region.

Choosing Noto as the main location strengthens Sicily’s image as a destination for cultural and film tourism, capable of blending art, history and contemporary emotions.

The series will be available for streaming from December 5, 2025, just in time to brighten the holiday season with lightness and fun.
