Riv4lries cast and character guide: Who plays whom in the latest Netflix Italian drama flick?

The latest Italian series, Riv4lries, is out on Netflix and focuses on the ups and downs of the youngsters at a school and the changing relationships when a new student arrives. What's good about this new show is that it's fun to watch for both young viewers and families.

The story takes place in Pisa, Italy, inside Montalcini Middle School. The social order in the school is clear: a dominant group called the Insiders, led by a boy named Claudio. He's popular and among the most influential students of the school.

However, the hierarchy set by Claudio and his group is significantly disturbed when a new girl, from Rome, transfers into the school and boldly denies following the unwritten rules. She not only proves to be competitive but also forms another group of students who stand against Claudio.

This way, a rivalry begins inside Montalcini Middle School, and apart from Terry and Claudio, the series also introduces other characters. Riv4lries has a total of 14 episodes, each giving a closer look into the students' lives and how they cope with their struggles.

Exploring the main cast and characters in Netflix's Riv4lries TV series

Riv4lries is a new Italian TV series on Netflix, which follows a group of students at Montalcini Middle School and how they end up in different groups. On her very first day, Terry seems excited to see how things will go in her new school, but soon after she learns about the rules Claudio has made, Terry defies them all.

What begins as a clash between groups grows more intense until it reaches an extreme: the school becomes literally split in two by a wall. The two main groups, Insiders and Outsiders, fight against each other until something big happens, forcing them to work together.

Curious to know about the main cast of Riv4lries? Let's explore:

1) Kartika Malavasi as Teresa "Terry" Moscati

Terry is the main character in Riv4lries, the girl who recently shifted to Pisa from Rome. As seen in the first episode, Terry never wished to relocate, but when she did, she ensured that her neighbors were troubled by her.

On her first day of school, Terry meets her classmates and believes she might get along with them. Little did Terry know that the school follows a hierarchy, and when she's asked to follow the same, Terry denies and forms the Outsiders group.

Claudio isn't just the most popular boy in the school, but also the leader of the Insider group and the one who began a hierarchy. Initially, Claudio believed that Terry could join his group and take his orders, but was startled to see her stand against him and the entire group of Insiders.

3) Edoardo Miulli: as Dario

As Darios said in the first episode of Riv4lries, he's Claudio's best friend and one of the biggest supporters of the hierarchy. What makes Dario apart from other characters is that he's always trying to catch up with the school's most beautiful girls. Before the groups were divided, Dario remained a good friend to Terry, but after she formed the Outsiders, Dario had no option but to support Claudio.
