Irene Maiorino plays the role of Lila in My Brilliant Friend season 4
Irene Maiorino is an Italian actress who has been cast as Elena's best friend from childhood, Rafaella Cerullo, also known as Lila, in My Brilliant Friend season 4. Previously, the role of young Lila in the first three seasons was played by Ludovica Nasti and Gaia Girace.
Born in Naples, Campania, Italy, in 1985, Irene Maiorino has made notable contributions to Italian cinema and TV. One of her most significant works is the 2022 drama-comedy movie Girls Don't Cry.

What is the role of Lila in My Brilliant Friend?
Rafaella Cerullo, commonly known as Lila, is the lifelong best friend of Elena Greco, also known as Lenù. In My Brilliant Friend season 4, Elena and Lila have grown up as adults. Unlike Elena, who went out of Naples and had a career and a marriage, Lila had to stay in Naples itself. She was a smart young child but couldn't continue her education after elementary school.
Lila had to get married to Stefano Carracci, and when Elena came back to Naples, she couldn't find her childhood friend anymore. It is the absence of Lila that makes Elena write a memoir, which in the end becomes "my brilliant friend." Lila's life is a harsh depiction of the condition of women during the 1950s who are devoid of the basic freedom that they deserve.
Her impoverished background, under the harsh patriarchal norms, forces her to get settled as a wife and a mother. Lila's way of revolt comes when she joins the Italian criminal organization "The Camorra." In My Brilliant Friend season 4, Elena goes on a journey to find her childhood best friend back, bring her out of the underworld, and reunite finally.
My Brilliant Friend season 4 is produced by Domenico Procacci and Domenico in collaboration with Freemantle Media, RAI Fiction, and HBO Entertainment. Saverio Costanzo, who has been one of the directors in the first two seasons, serves as one of its executive producers. The fourth season is written by Elena Ferrante, Laura Paolucci, Costanzo, and Francesco Piccolo.
