When the series returns with My Brilliant Friend Season 4, the story of the third season will continue. The fourth and final book in Ferrante’s trilogy, “The Story of the Lost Child,” will form the basis for the forthcoming installment. As a result, we can see Elena break up with Pietro and try to start a new life with Nino. Things get even more complicated when she learns that Nino’s wife is expecting a child.

Elena reflects on their relationship after learning of Lila’s disappearance, and this is where Lila and Elena’s journey begins. But she tries to hide all her life, pretends to be normal, gets married and finds a career. Her attention is often tumultuous, violent and problematic. Her intellect has gotten her into more trouble than it has gotten her anywhere.
