Glimpsed in one of the latest episodes of Skam Italia 5, Asia (Nicole Rossi) is the protagonist of the new season of the Netflix teen drama.
Asia is there gruff and stubborn institute representative from Kennedy high school in Rome, best friend of Viola (Lea Gavino) who was the girlfriend of Elia (Francesco Centorame), protagonist of the fifth season. The girl is a fourth year student politically engaged against her neo-fascist peers together with the Rebelde group. Political collective founded together with lifelong friends Rebecca (Maria Camilla Brandenburg), Healthy (Beatrice Bruschi) e Fiorella (Benedetta Santibelli).
Long distance girlfriend with Ben (Leo Rivosecchi), a boy who is spending a year studying in the United States, Asia meets the handsome, dark Giulio at school (Andrea Palma), new entry to the high school.

A season of metamorphosis for the teen drama
After a much discussed fifth season with at the center the problems of Elia, a repeating high school student with big problems accepting his micropenis, Skam Italia 6 reconnects the previous threads to focus on the fragile world of the young woman Asia. Young anti-fascist feminist in which many Gen Z girls will recognize themselves.
For the first time, we find a relatively new character as the protagonist, present in the series only since the previous season. A change that certifies the will of the creator of the Italian version Ludovico Bessegato of open a new phase of teen drama adapted from the Norwegian format.
Now the cast fixed from past years leaves room for a new group of characters, which will certainly have the opportunity to evolve and grow in the seasons to come.

Another novelty this season is the attention to social and political themesthus giving the storyline some new nuances compared to the past. Where the relational problems of the protagonist of the moment canceled out any anthropological and politically committed reflection on the present.
