Kevin Spacey Returns to TV in Italian Comedy ‘Minimarket’

The casting underscores his shift to European work during pending London civil cases.

Overview

  • RAI confirmed the ten-episode series will stream on RaiPlay starting December 26.
  • In the show, Spacey plays a fictionalized version of himself as the imaginary artistic conscience and unpredictable mentor to a Rome shop worker.
  • It is Spacey’s first television performance since his 2017 removal from Netflix’s House of Cards.
  • A promotional clip features Spacey singing You’ve Got a Friend in Me and I’ve Got You Under My Skin with lead actor Filippo Laganà.
  • Spacey was acquitted in a 2023 U.K. criminal trial and now faces three civil claims in London next year, with two formally denied and a defense not yet filed in the third.
