A 14th century rave is the subject of The Decameron's teaser, with slow motion drinking, vomiting and sex taking place while New Order's "Blue Monday" plays in the background.

Based on the medieval short story collection by Giovanni Boccaccio, Kathleen Jordan's series tells the story of a group of nobles and servants sheltering from the Black Death in a rural villa in Florence in 1348 — where debauchery quickly ensues.

Zosia Mamet, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Tanya Reynolds, Amar Chadha-Patel, Leila Farzad, Lou Gala, Karan Gill, Tony Hale, Douggie McMeekin, and Jessica Plummer star.

The Decameron is streaming on Netflix from July 25.
