Ex-Marine Turned Hotel Fixer Tackles Disappearance on the Amalfi Coast

As of October 2nd, 2025, the new Amazon Prime Video series 'Hotel Costiera' has been generating buzz for its leading man, Jesse Williams. The 'Grey's Anatomy' alum plays DD De Luca, an ex-Marine who works as a fixer for the wealthy guests of the eponymous hotel on the Amalfi Coast.

De Luca's job can involve anything from tracking down missing dogs to beating up troublemakers to repatriating human remains across continents. Williams handles the physical demands of the role with ease, showcasing his action hero physique and magnetic screen presence. He effortlessly delivers charming one-liners and cheeky grins, while also conveying an underlying inner conflict.

The show's central mystery revolves around the disappearance of the hotel owner's daughter, but 'Hotel Costiera' has more of a cozy, escapist vibe than a high-stakes thriller. The sun-drenched Amalfi Coast setting and endearing supporting characters, including a glamorous lawyer, a struggling aristocrat, and Williams' muscular childhood friend, create a sense of comfort even amidst the danger.

With only six episodes, 'Hotel Costiera' provides the perfect weekend binge for those yearning for an Italian getaway from their couch. The series serves as a showcase for Williams' leading-man potential, proving he deserves more opportunities to headline his own projects.
