Mina Settembre 3, why Giorgio Pasotti won't be in the new season
The countdown to the start of Mina September 3 it's almost finished: from 12 January 2025, the series will return to Rai 1 with Serena Rossi in the role of the protagonist. The new season promises excitement and novelties, but not all the cast of the previous seasons will return to the screens. Two important absences are those of George Pasotti, who played Mina's ex-husband, Claudio De Carolis, and Marina Confalone, which gave life to Olga, the mother of the protagonist. Let's see together the reasons for these choices.
Why won't Giorgio Pasotti return to Mina Settembre 3?
During the press conference to present the season, the director Tiziana Aristarchus explained the reasons behind Giorgio Pasotti's absence. His character, Claudio, concluded his story arc during the second season:
“His story with Mina ends halfway through the second season, so his farewell was physiological.”
The decision was made to ensure a natural evolution of the plot, avoiding prolonging stories that have already ended. The third season will focus on new dynamics, giving space to new developments in Mina's personal and professional life.
Marina Confalone and Olga's exit
The character of Olga, played by Marina Confalone, will also not be part of the third season. The director explained that Olga's illness had already paved the way for a farewell during the second season. Furthermore, with the end of the conflict between Olga and Mina, the character had now exhausted her narrative role:
“His exit was painful but necessary to give space to Aunt Rosa.”
Aunt Rosa, played by Marisa Laurito, will have a more central role in the new season, bringing a breath of energy and a different perspective to Mina's family dynamics.
Mina's news September 3
The third season opens with the preparations for Mina and Domenico's wedding. This event will be a starting point to explore new challenges in the protagonist's life, including the desire to adopt Viola. The season will be characterized by stories that tell of solidarity and humanity, as the director emphasized:
“Mina is a woman who knows how to listen, and this is a great asset today. Her stories make us feel less alone.”
When and where to see Mina Settembre 3
Mina September 3 will air prime time on Rai 1 by 12 January 2025, with six episodes broadcast every Sunday at 21pm. For those who cannot follow the episodes live, reruns will be available on Premium Rai and on-demand streaming on RaiPlay.
With a renewed cast and new compelling stories, the third season promises to be a success. All that remains is to prepare to experience new emotions alongside Mina.
