The Decameron, a modern-day adaptation of a 14th-century tale, is set to hit screens soon, boasting an array of familiar faces but when can we expect it?

However, their once luxurious retreat quickly descends into chaos as fear, food, and copious amounts of wine take hold. All eight episodes of The Decameron will be available on Netflix from Thursday, July 25.

For US subscribers on the west coast, The Decameron will be ready to watch just after midnight PST (Pacific Standard Time) on July 25.
