The year was 1992 when Ettore Bernabei, a former chief of Italian public broadcaster Rai, founded Lux Vide, first as an advertising company before moving into television production.

Over 30 years and 1,300 hours of television later, the production house with its expanded studio space now has one of the largest, most sustainable and technologically advanced production spaces in Europe. It boasts a slate of ambitious shows, from Italian favorites such as “Don Matteo” (just entering its fourteenth season) and “Doc” to more international fare, like “The Medici.”

Following Lux Vide’s acquisition by Fremantle two years ago, the shingle continues to provide uplifting content with international appeal. “Lux has alternated great international productions, filmed in English, and Italian productions which nevertheless have the possibility of being sold abroad,” CEO and son of Ettore, Luca Bernabei tells Variety.

“We try to make feel-good content aimed at families. That’s our brand. In the...

“Grey’s Anatomy” star Jesse Williams is set to lead Prime Video’s Italian original “Costiera” which unfolds on Italy’s iconic Amalfi Coast.

The high-end show is an English-language action-drama with comedic elements directed by Emmy winner Adam Bernstein, which is currently shooting on location.

In “Costiera,” Williams is playing an Italian-American former Marine named Daniel De Luca, who is a problem solver in one of the most exclusive hotels in the world in Positano. He is a guest of the owner because Dd, as everyone knows him, is the only person who caught a glimpse of the man who may have kidnapped his daughter, and therefore is the only person who may be able to hunt the kidnapper down. Aside from that storyline, Dd basically solves a case in each episode.

“Costiera” is being co-produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Luca Bernabei for Lux Vide, the Fremantle-owned Italian...

Lux Vide, the Italian producer behind Sky series Devils and the upcoming Leonardo, is rebooting the pirate story Sandokan and is launching a podcast unit.

The Luca Bernabei-led company plans to reimagine Emilio Salgari’s novels, on which a 1976 Sandokan TV series was based, for a modern audience. The story chronicles the adventures of a 19th-century pirate fighting against the colonial power of the Dutch and British empires in South East Asia.

Lux Vide plans to shoot next year and has cast Turkish actor Can Yaman (Daydream) as Sandokan and Italy’s Luca Argentero (Doc) as fellow pirate Yanez. Yaman is already limbering up for the role, according to an update on his Instagram, where he has nearly 8M followers.
