Following the likes Reacher and The Terminal List franchises, Prime Video has seemingly found its next big action hit. The streamer is leading the way in terms of action thriller shows and their success on streaming, with the platform’s latest genre effort having already shot up the charts.
Landing somewhere between Magnum P.I. and The White Lotus — with a dash of Taken for good measure — the series finds Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams as a former U.S. Marine who turns expert fixer and soon finds himself tracking down a missing girl on the Italian coast. Titled Hotel Costiera, the action drama has debuted with a promising 80% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes as it quickly leaps its way up the Prime Video Top 10.
Directed by Emmy Award-winner Adam Bernstein and Giacomo Martelli, and based on an idea by Luca Bernabei, Hotel Costiera stars the likes of Maria Chiara Giannetta, Jordan Alexandra, Antonio Gerardi, Sam Haygarth, Tommaso Ragno, Amanda Campana, Pierpaolo Spollon, Alejandra Onieva and Jean-Hugues Anglade alongside Williams, who finally takes on a leading role in the action series. Hotel Costiera now finds itself among the most popular Prime Video shows of the moment, standing alongside the likes of The Terminal List, Countdown, Gen V, and The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. Clearly, there is still plenty of appetite for new action shows to emerge on the platform best-known for Reacher.
‘Hotel Costiera’ Is the Latest Action Success for Amazon
Hotel Costiera endeavors to offer a more laid-back, but no less action-packed, experience when compared to the likes of Reacher. And the series proves itself to be another perfect binge-watch to add to your no doubt already stacked list, with Sherin Nicole of RogerEbert.com selling the action drama perfectly, saying, “With the weather turning chilly, ‘Hotel Costiera‘ is a sunny reason to gather around the streaming app, pour out a fruity beverage, and relax to a show that comes very close to a beach read.”
Hotel Costiera is now streaming on Prime Video in the United States, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Turkey, Norway, Denmark, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and you can check out both the newly released trailer and official synopsis below.
“Hotel Costiera follows Daniel De Luca (Williams), a half Italian former U.S. Marine. Daniel returns to Italy, the land of his childhood, as a fixer in one of the world’s most luxurious hotels, located on the spectacular coastline of Positano. In addition to dealing with the wealthy guests’ problems, Daniel is also on the trail of Alice, one of the owner’s daughters who disappeared a month earlier. Daniel must do everything he can to bring her home, but facing those who kidnapped the girl will be more challenging than any problem Daniel has ever faced.”
Prime Video has seen huge success in the action genre over the last few years, with two of its biggest genre hits, Reacher and The Terminal List, now expanding into spin-offs. Reacher is set to return for a fourth outing as well as launch a spin-off series centered on Maria Sten’s character, Frances Neagley, while The Terminal List too will return for another season and has already launched a spin-off with The Terminal List: Dark Wolf.
