Releasing all six episodes Wednesday, Sept. 24 (on Prime Video in the United States as well as Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), Hotel Costiera stars Grey’s Anatomy alum Williams as Daniel De Luca, a half-Italian former U.S. Marine who returns to the land of his childhood as a “fixer” for one of the world’s most luxurious hotels, located on the spectacular coastline of Positano.
