Minerva Academy (2026 TV Series) - Season 1 (Episode 8 Added)

Season 1 (all 8 episodes released Sep 22, 2026 on Netflix) introduces three central cadets: Salvo (Ciro Minopoli), driven by his missing friend; Vincenzo (Biagio Venditti), who aims to follow his military father’s path; and Camilla (Margherita Buoncristiani), a privileged Milanese girl sent south to be “reformed.” Their clashing agendas fuel friction as they endure intense physical training, hazing, and social stratification. Adults are far from background: Commander Achille Giordano (Massimiliano Gallo) embodies institutional authority, while philosophy teacher Laura Canali (Cristiana Capotondi) offers a civilian conscience and a lens for doubt amid the academy’s culture of silence.
