Borgia (also known as Borgia: Faith and Fear) is a French-German-Czech-Italian historical drama television series created by Tom Fontana. The show recounts the Borgia family's rise to power and subsequent domination of the Papal States during the Renaissance.
Borgia debuted in Italy via Sky Italia on 10 July 2011 and in North America via Netflix on 2 October 2011. It was since renewed for a second season, which premiered in France on Canal+ on 18 March 2013, and on Netflix on 1 May 2013. A third and final season premiered in France on Canal+ on 15 September 2014 and on Netflix on 1 November 2014. The series finale aired in France on Canal+ on 27 October 2014 as the 38th episode overall.
The series is produced by Atlantique Productions, a subsidiary of Lagardère Entertainment, for French premium-pay TV Canal+ in association with EOS Entertainment, and was filmed in the Czech Republic and in Italy. Czech production was held by company Etic films. International distribution is handled by Beta Film GmbH. Season 3 was filmed between 27 May 2013 and 27 January 2014.
Even though the series is considered a French-German-Czech-Italian production, the whole setup is very international. The series creator, producer, and lead writer Tom Fontana, as well as the other writers including Sean Whitesell (House M.D., Cold Case, Homicide: Life on the Street), Gina Gionfriddo (Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent) and Larry Cohen (HBO's In Treatment, The Philanthropist), among several others are all American. Season 2 sees French writer Audrey Fouché join the writing team.
