Luca Bernabei On How Keeping Costs Down On ‘Costiera’ & The ‘Shogun’-esque ‘Sandokan’ Has Been Crucial In Today’s “Tricky” Market


The Lux Vide boss teased a new Netflix series and spoke about how his Fremantle-backed outfit loves procedurals.

“In Europe we are accustomed to producing with a bit less money and finding solutions,” declared Luca Bernabei as he spoke about how his Fremantle-backed production outfit Lux Vide has had to keep costs down on Jesse Williams-starrer Costiera and upcoming epic Sandokan. Lux Vide, which Fremantle bought two years ago, can sell older Italian procedurals around the world to help fund adventurous offerings like Sandokan, according to Bernabei. Upcoming, Bernabei teased a Netflix Italy series Lux Vide is working on that focuses on “crime in a beautiful place,” in a similar vein to Costiera.
