✨ Italy in the spotlight at SERIES MANIA From the stage in Lille, Prime Video’s head of originals for Southern Europe, Nicole Morganti, revealed that, despite the series having both an American director, Adam Bernstein, and an American lead actor, Costiera will be a “true Italian story, written by Italian writers.” Alongside Jesse Williams, the show features an international cast from France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, with Italian co-producer Lux Vide onboard — and with southern Italy’s Amalfi Coast playing no less than “a protagonist.” Another powerful example of how Italy’s stories, talent, and landscapes continue to shape globally compelling productions. Looking forward for Costiera to land on Prime Video later this year. 🇮🇹📺 #ItalyOnScreen #Costiera #PrimeVideo #SeriesMania #AmalfiCoast #MadeInItaly #GlobalTV #AudiovisualIndustry https://lnkd.in/g828YkuV
