Serially was not built by a broadcaster. It comes from IXMedia, an independent company in Bari founded by Alessandro Mandelli and Massimo Vimini, and it streams foreign series in their Italian premiere for free. If you want to watch Serially outside Italy, maybe to keep up with the Colombian drama La Promesa, the site stops you at the door: any connection that is not Italian gets a plain line that reads “Sorry, Serially is not available in your country.”
There is no official route for viewers based outside Italy, and the terms of service say nothing about EU portability. Inside Italy the service costs nothing and needs no VPN, since ads pay the bills. From the US, a VPN with an Italian server, such as Surfshark, changes your virtual location, so you can watch for free, just like viewers in Italy. The catalog leans on imported series, adds movies and, since spring 2026, live channels.

Serially is a free Italian streaming service funded by ads. It’s built around foreign series getting their Italian premiere, from European imports to Asian dramas. It suits Italians living or traveling abroad and series fans who are comfortable with Italian and like discovering shows that no Italian broadcaster had picked up. Shows come with Italian dubbing or in the original language with Italian subtitles, and the whole interface is Italian only. You watch in a web browser on a computer or phone, with no subscription and no paid tier, so the only price you pay is the advertising. The site only lets Italian connections in, and the rest of the world, other EU countries included, stays locked out. There’s no official route for viewers outside Italy. With a VPN server in Italy, though, you can watch Serially free from anywhere, just like viewers in Italy.
