A new legal drama, “Avvocato Ligas,” premiered on Sky Atlantic and NOW on March 6, 2026, starring Luca Argentero as a Milan-based lawyer navigating scandal and seeking redemption, according to Digital-Forum.it.
The series centers on the character of Ligas, a brilliant penal lawyer, and draws comparisons to both Harvey Specter from the series Suits and Mickey Haller of The Lincoln Lawyer, as noted in a post on Digital-Forum.it. The show’s arrival coincides with a broader trend of “avvocati-detective” – lawyer-detectives – gaining popularity in both television and literature, as reported by L’Eco di Bergamo and shared on Facebook and X.
Lorenzo Ligas, the character on which the series is based, is the subject of a recently published ebook, “Un caso complicato per l’avvocato Ligas. Perdenti,” available on Amazon.it. The book is priced at €9.99.
The surge in popularity of this archetype, from Mickey Haller to Ligas, has been observed across media, according to L’Eco di Bergamo. The article highlights the appeal of stories involving legal expertise combined with investigative elements.
