The 'Call Me By Your Name' director's latest project is a coming-of-age piece set in an American military base. 

Luca Guadagnino, the director best known for&nbsp;Call Me By Your Name,&nbsp;has recently announced the cast of his upcoming TV show via Instagram, and perennial it-girl Chlo&euml; Sevigny and artist Kid Cudi are among those headlining the project. The HBO series, titled&nbsp;We Are Who We Are,&nbsp;takes place in an American military base in Italy and is supposedly a teen coming-of-age drama of sorts. Guadagnino is known for shooting on Italian soil, as he did for both CMBYN and&nbsp;A Bigger Splash (2015), but the setting is described to be a &quot;little slice of America in Italy,&quot; according to an announcement on <a href="https://www.fremantle.com/cast-announced-for-luca-guadagninos-we-are-who-we-are/">Fremantle</a>.&nbsp;

Filming is set to start in Italy at the end of the month. Lorenzo Mieli and Mariano Gianani of&nbsp;Wildside will produce the series, and relative newcomers Jack Dylan Grazer and Jordan K. Seamon will play the young teens navigating life on an American foreign base. This is Sevigny&#39;s second project with HBO, following her role as Nicolette &quot;Nicki&quot; Grant in&nbsp;Big Love,&nbsp;for which she won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Series. Although most know Cudi for his music, he has also worked with HBO before in the third season of&nbsp;Westworld.&nbsp;

If Guadagnino&#39;s previous projects are any indication, this series will have its own share of idiosyncrasies, likely balancing an otherworldly tenderness and romanticism with high-level emotional drama. With Sevigny&#39;s expertise balancing out the fresh blood and HBO&#39;s glowing track record with teen dramas (hello, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/hbo-euphoria-nate-jacob-elordi-2019">Euphoria</a>) we can expect&nbsp;We Are Who We Are&nbsp;to be a winning combination.&nbsp;
