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."

Clarkson's Farm gives update on fan-favourite star and they look VERY different
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLARKSON'S Farm fans have been left stunned after being given an update on a fan-favourite show star. The Diddly Squat Farm Instagram account left viewers of the Prime Video show gobsmacked when it uploaded a brand new video of one character looking very different. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that a fan favourite Clarkson's Farm star is still going strong Credit: Amazon 5 Richard Ham the pig has gotten MUCH bigger Credit: Instagram/@ 5 He looks all grown up following the show Credit: Amazon Richard Ham, Jeremy Clarkson's micro-pig, appeared to have more than doubled in size since being introduced to fans on the programme during the latest series. Jezza affectionately named the pig after his former Top Gear co-star Richard Hammond who took a trip to the Oxfordshire farm for the programme. Whilst Richard Ham was then rather a small pig - the new clip has proved that things are all change for the farmyard animal. Alongside a video clip of the pig sniffing and snorting around, a caption read: "Look who it is!!! It's Richard 'porker' Ham." Fans were left shocked at his size as they begged Jezza and his girlfriend Lisa Hogan to keep the pig and look after him as they begged for him not to be turned into meat. One person said: "Yayy! I'm so glad Richard Ham is still with you, keep him forever!" Another added: "Oh Hurrah! Richard Ham is still around - please keep him or let him go to a petting farm, where he can live a happy life." A third then said: "He's gorgeous…. Please don't send me off to the meat packers….. please, please, please keep him….. "I'm not a veggie either but I do love him." Before someone else chimed in: "Blimey not so little Richard anymore." Jeremy Clarkson brings back beloved part of Clarkson's Farm after U-turn Jeremy previously revealed that he would be keeping the pig at the farm in order for it to make friends with the female pigs he owned. He confessed he was hoping Richard was able to get the next lot of female pigs 'in the mood' — and is likened to late Playboy boss Hugh Hefner. Jeremy says: 'The problem is, if he goes on the lorry, he's killed and all we get in return is chipolata and a pork chop the size of a walnut. 'If he stays here, we've got to feed him for no reason. 'And that's not farming. 'But the next lot of sows, we're going to use artificial insemination on them, to make them pregnant. 'But we can't do that until they get in heat and they won't get in heat unless there's man pig nearby. 'So why don't we keep him as the farm's man pig, to get the ladies in the mood? 'Good old Richard Ham — you could be Hugh Hefner now!'

Series 2 This series sees Jeremy look for ways to increase the farm's revenue. One such example is bringing in a herd of cows although this isn't without its issues.

For this plan to move forward, he had to get planning permission from the local council. Viewers also meet Pepper, a heifer among the herd who ultimately becomes the star's favourite.

'Underrated' horror movie hailed by fans finally arrives on Amazon Prime
A 'must see' horror movie has finally arrived on Amazon Prime Video, ready for us all to be terrified again. Nosferatu hit the big screen in 2024, with Bill Skarsgård leading a star-studded cast alongside Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Director Robert Eggers put his own stamp on the Dracula-inspired Gothic tale, following a young woman tortured by a psychic connection to an evil vampire. The film made a huge splash when it was released just a few months ago, and was branded 'chilling', 'hauntingly beautiful' and 'downright evil' by cinemagoers. It raked more than $181million at the global box office, earning four Oscar nominations for best cinematography, best costume design, best production design and best hair and makeup styling. The scare-fest will is now available to stream on Amazon Prime, just in case fans missed it in cinemas, or want another excuse to hide behind their sofa cushions. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Nosferatu currently commands an impressive critics Rotten Tomatoes score of 84%, compared to an audience ranking of 73%. Jonathan M praised: 'The new Nosferatu was fantastic – beautifully dark atmosphere and amazing performances all around. It stayed true to the spirit of the classic while adding some fresh twists that kept things interesting. 'A couple of scenes felt slightly long, but overall, it's one of the best horror films I've seen lately.' Tyler F said: 'A horror absolute must see. You cannot unsee this movie. It's one of those ones that sticks with you.' 'The best Dracula-related film ever made. Proper Gothic treatment of the film. Eggers has created a masterpiece that will continue to inspire future generations,' Darko J agreed. Ronald M commented: 'A horror movie that focuses more on psychological and atmospheric creepiness than gore and jump scares. A very enjoyable reimagining of the almost-lost classic and a welcome deviation from the usual Dracula story. 'Excellent make-up effects on Count Olaf, and even better sound design that makes the bloodsucking sound so visceral and violent.' Jacob M added: 'This film is underrated. The gradual introduction of Count Orlok. The attention shifted between characters. It's captivating. Darkness at its finest. A masterpiece.' The official synopsis simply reads: 'Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.' However, unpacking his experience on set, Nicholas – who played Thomas Hutter – revealed that the scares weren't just saved for the screen, as he had a terrifying moment on set with his animal co-stars. In a recent interview with Empire magazine, he was questioned on whether he was 'actually freaked out' during filming, and recalled the 'rules' he was given when meeting the Czech Shepherds playing the 'wolves'. 'They were Czech Shepherds, so they weren't wolves but part-wolf. When we met them with the animal handlers, they were like, 'Oh, they're just like dogs,'' he said. 'When we got to set, there was a moment before that scene where I'm running on the spot, trying to get my heart rate up. 'The wolves – it sent them crazy. They'd been told to chase me and then they saw me getting myself fired up, and they were barking, being held back on these leashes. I was like, 'Whoa! Whoooooaaa.' 'And there was one time doing that shot where I was running – they'd be like, 'Okay, three-two-one, action,' and I would go on three, and [the wolves] would be released on one – and there was one time where I slipped, trying to get out of the window. More Trending 'I was like, 'Well, I know these wolves have been released, and I know they're chasing me, but I never asked, like… 'What are they trained to do if they do get to me? What's the end goal here, what if I don't make it out the window??'' 'I remember after that take, [David] being like, 'You pulled a weird face, we can't use that.' That was real! That was a moment of real panic!' This article was first published on June 20. Nosferatu is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now. Got a story?
