My Brilliant Friend to end with Season 4

The Hollywood Reporter

The Italian language coming-of-age drama based on Elena Ferrante's acclaimed four-book "Neapolitan Novels" series has been picked up for a fourth and final season. Season 4 will be based on the fourth novel, The Story of the Lost Child. “When we decided to bring Elena Ferrante’s masterpiece Neapolitan Novels to the screen, we knew Elena and Lila’s story had to be told in its entirety,” said Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO programming. “It’s both thrilling and bittersweet to embark on this fourth and final season. We’re deeply grateful to the entire creative team led by Saverio Costanzo and Lorenzo Mieli, and to our season three director Daniele Luchetti. We look forward to completing the quartet and know The Story of the Lost Child will bring the series to a close with the same heart, intimacy and epic storytelling that has defined Elena and Lila’s journey from the beginning.”
