Pale Mountains has had a thrilling premiere and has captivated audiences across Italy, securing a primetime win over strong competition such as "Big Brother". The series drew in an impressive 2.8 million viewers on RAI1 for the first two episodes. The release of the third- and fourth episodes created even more excitement, increasing its viewers to just around the 3 million mark, while the following two episodes also managed to attract the most viewers in prime time.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bolzano in Southern Tyrol, the eight-hour series delves into the tensions between the German-speaking and Italian communities as a notorious serial killer resurfaces and sends shockwaves through the region. With the plot just beginning to unfold, two more episodes are scheduled air on 7 October on RAI1 in Italy, promising even more twists and revelations.

Pale Mountains is produced by RAI Fiction and Cross Productions supported by IDM and in association with Beta Film.
