ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS) and Italy’s expanding Minerva Pictures have teamed up on “Miss Fallaci Takes America,” a high-profile TV series about the 1958 journey to the U.S. of iconic Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci.

The show, which is the first Italian original produced for Paramount Plus, will portray Fallaci’s early years in Hollywood before she became a legendary war correspondent known for her explosive personality. It is set to be the first Paramount Plus Original destined for the ViacomCBS-owned premium streaming service, following its Italian launch in 2022.
