Hotel Costiera official Amazon Prime trailer
Prime Video viewers are in for a treat as a new crime drama, Hotel Costiera, is set to be added to the streaming platform soon.
Named the next big hit following Death In Paradise, this thrilling series promises to spice up your summer nights.
The show throws us into the world of Daniel De Luca, played by the charming Jesse Williams from Grey’s Anatomy, who becomes an indispensable “fixer” at the lavish Hotel Costiera in Positano, only to be caught in a web of intrigue when a young girl is snatched.
Penned by the creative trio, Elena Bucaccio, Matthew Parkhill, and Francesco Arlanch, and filmed on location in Italy last year, viewers are buzzed with anticipation for its release on our screens soon.

The six part series follows the compelling narrative of half-Italian, ex-US marine Daniel De Luca, as he tackles his latest chapter amidst the opulence of one of the globe’s finest hotels set against the breathtaking Positano coastline.
Mixing the high life with high stakes – very much echoing The White Lotus vibes – Daniel isn’t just sorting out the troubles of the rich and famous; he’s also entangled in the desperate search for Alice, a missing heiress.
Resolving this mystery may prove to be his toughest mission yet. In true Italian style, the series kicked off with a glamorous premiere in sunny Sicily’s Taormina.
The Taormina Film Festival was the backdrop for a sneak peek of the first episode of Hotel Costiera, screened in an ancient Greek amphitheatre with Mount Etna looming in the distance.
Landing Jesse Williams, known for his role as Daniel “DD” De Luca, was a significant achievement, according to director Adam Bernstein: “It’s an amazing opportunity for me to work with Jesse Williams on Costiera.
“I’ve always admired his work – both on stage and screen, and he’s the first actor that came to my mind for the role of Daniel De Luca. Jesse provides a perfect combination of intelligence, charisma, and humour, and we’re incredibly lucky to have him at the centre of our show.”
Williams is joined by a stellar supporting cast of European actors in this sun-soaked production, including Maria Chiara Giannetta (Madly), Jordan Alexandra (Bridgerton, 3 Body Problem), Antonio Gerardi (This Is Not Hollywood), Sam Haygarth, Tommaso Ragno (Fargo, Luna Park), Amanda Campana, Pierpaolo Spollon, Alejandra Onieva (Alta Mar) and Jean-Hugues Anglade (Versailles).
Prime Video has confirmed that the full series, consisting of six episodes, will be available to watch from 24th September, so there’s not long to wait.
