The Decameron is to drop this week with Netflix teasing its unforgettable cast ahead of its release. Based on Giovanni Boccaccio’s short story collection, originally published in the 14th Century, The Decameron is an eight-episode black comedy that sees a group of nobles and their servants flee to a grand villa in Florence to escape the Black Death. As the countdown begins until the show’s release date, here’s all there is to know about the stars of The Decameron and where viewers would have seen them before.
Who is in the cast of The Decameron on Netflix? Licisca - Tanya Reynolds Born into servitude, obedient yet sometimes unpredictable servant Licisca has spent her entire life at the bottom of the food chain, working for Filomena’s family. Despite Filomena’s cruel attitude towards her, Licisca has always done what she is told but with the Black Death looming over all of their heads, she decides to finally let loose. Actress Tanya Reynolds will be recognised for starring as Lily Iglehart in the first three seasons of comedy-drama Sex Education on Netflix .
Some of her other most notable roles have been in Emma, Delicious, The Baby and I Hate You. Tindaro - Douggie McMeekin Reynolds will be starring alongside actor Douggie McMeekin who starred as Charles Quigley in the ITV series Harlots, as well as Yuvchenko in Chernobyl and Sunny Blandford in The Crown. McMeekin will portray Tindaro in The Decameron, a noble who has a blunt disdain for women and so, unsurprisingly.
