Hotel Costiera Conquers Amazon USA: An International Success for Lux Vide and Made in Italy
The new global hit Hotel Costiera, produced by Lux Vide – one of Italy’s leading scripted production studios founded in Rome by Ettore Bernabei and now part of the Fremantle Group – together with Amazon MGM Studios, has reached the number one position on Prime Video USA in October 2025, as reported by Variety and IMDb News. This marks a remarkable milestone for an Italian production that merges an Anglo-American television production model, characterized by cinematic aesthetics and serialized storytelling, seamlessly integrated with the cultural richness and visual identity of the Amalfi Coast.
Filmed entirely between Positano and the Amalfi Coast, the series offers an evocative portrait of Italy. The protagonist, Jesse Williams (Grey’s Anatomy), plays Daniel De Luca, an Italian-American ex-Marine who returns to his homeland to work as a “fixer” in a luxury hotel facing the sea. Created by Francesco Arlanch and Elena Bucaccio, and directed by Adam Bernstein (Breaking Bad) and Giacomo Martelli, Hotel Costiera skillfully blends mystery, glamour, and Mediterranean charm.
Lux Vide reconfirms its leadership in the internationalization of Italian storytelling. After achievements with Medici and Leonardo, the company continues to create quality projects that enhance Italy’s cultural and natural identity while resonating globally. The ensemble cast brings together Italian and international talent: Maria Chiara Giannetta, Tommaso Ragno, Amanda Campana, Alejandra Onieva, and Jean-Hugues Anglade.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hotel Costiera is a “bright, escapist dramedy” that draws viewers into a world “between dream, mystery, and Mediterranean elegance”. Decider praised it as “a visual vacation to the Italian coast,” while RogerEbert.com called it “a sunset cocktail of a show – relaxing, pleasurable, and authentically Italian.
Among its upcoming projects, the long‑awaited epic Sandokan stands out — a high‑end adventure drama inspired by Emilio Salgari’s legendary novels and co‑produced with Rai Fiction and Fremantle. Starring Can Yaman, Ed Westwick, and John Hannah, and directed by Jan Maria Michelini, the series reimagines the classic pirate saga with a modern cinematic scope, poised to bring a new wave of Italian international storytelling to global audiences. The new production is a reimagining of the iconic 1970s TV series starring Kabir Bedi, one of the biggest television phenomena in Italian history and a global hit that was sold in more than 80 countries.
