New crime drama dubbed 'next Death in Paradise' is set to be summer TV favourite
Named the next big hit following Death In Paradise, Prime Video's new crime series promises to spice up your summer nights
Fans of Prime Video, brace yourselves for the arrival of a fresh and intriguing crime drama, Hotel Costiera, which is poised to keep you entertained during summer evenings.
Named the next Death In Paradise, the series is set to deliver an electrifying blend of mystery and luxury, sure to captivate viewers.
Enter the spellbinding universe of Daniel De Luca, embodied by Jesse Williams of Grey's Anatomy fame, who finds himself immersed in complex conundrums as the go-to "fixer" at the sumptuous Hotel Costiera in Positano, facing a predicament when a guest goes missing.
Helmed by a skilled team of storytellers - Elena Bucaccio, Matthew Parkhill, and Francesco Arlanch - and shot against Italy's stunning backdrop last year, Hotel Costiera has certainly got audiences excited for its imminent drop.
This six-part series charts the intense journey of the half-Italian, former US marine as he navigates his new role among the splendour of one of the world 's grandest hotels, with Positano's coast adding to the visual feast, reports Wales Online.
Injecting a dose of extravagance mingled with suspense reminiscent of The White Lotus, Daniel grapples with not just the trials of the elite but also the urgent case of Alice, the vanished heiress.
Solving this enigma might just be Daniel's most challenging task to date. Commencing with opulent celebrations, the series premiered under the Sicilian sun in the illustrious Taormina.
The Taormina Film Festival provided a stunning setting for an exclusive preview of Hotel Costiera's opening episode, with the ancient Greek amphitheatre offering a dramatic view and Mount Etna brooding in the background.
Securing Jesse Williams, famed for his portrayal as Daniel "DD" De Luca, was a coup for director Adam Bernstein who expressed his excitement: "It's an amazing opportunity for me to work with Jesse Williams on Costiera."
Bernstein praised Williams' talents effusively: "I've always admired his work – both on stage and screen, and he's the first actor that came to my mind for the role of Daniel De Luca.
Jesse provides a perfect combination of intelligence, charisma, and humour, and we're incredibly lucky to have him at the centre of our show."
Williams headlines alongside a dazzling array of European talent in this Mediterranean drama, featuring Maria Chiara Giannetta (Madly), Jordan Alexandra (Bridgerton, 3 Body Problem), Antonio Gerardi (This Is Not Hollywood), Sam Haygarth, Tommaso Ragno (Fargo, Luna Park), Amanda Campana, Pierpaolo Spollon, Alejandra Onieva (Alta Mar) and Jean-Hugues Anglade (Versailles).
Prime Video has announced that viewers can binge the entire six-episode series starting from 24th September, so the countdown is officially on.

They later headed over to The Symposium night club and danced until 2am, where according to MailOnline he was reportedly seen hugging her. The club is well known in the area and is owned by Hollyoaks hunk Ashley Taylor Dawson, who plays Darren Osborne on the show. Mum-of-one Molly shocked fans last year when she announced her split from Tommy. He was later accused of cheating on her with a 'blonde stranger' on a lads' holiday to Macedonia - something Tommy has repeatedly denied. The former Love Island star admitted yesterday that alcohol and partying was behind his split from the star, saying: 'We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be anymore. "It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.' She later sobbed as she recalled pleading with the boxer to ditch the alcohol during her sister Zoe's big day in July. In heartbreaking scenes in her warts-and-all Prime Video documentary, she said: 'At my sister's wedding I literally begged him, I pleaded with him to not drink. Molly Mae admits she 'begged and pleaded' with Tommy Fury not to drink at her sister's wedding "And … it's just really sad … I don't know why I'm crying now. It's just so sad. It just affected me.' She added: 'He wanted to have a family life but also have the life of a 25 year old boy with no responsibilities and the two don't go hand in hand. 'He's never had an alcohol problem, it's just that alcohol caused problems for us. "It got to a point where I wasn't really looking forward to anything because alcohol affected it so much.' However the pair managed to work past their problems and have since reconciled. They were spotted yesterday looking happier than ever on a family day out. Molly's rep declined to comment. Tommy's rep has been contacted. 5 Molly broke down in tears on her documentary about Tommy's boozing 5 Tommy was seen chatting to brother Roman's girlfriend Credit: Getty

Lincoln Lawyer fans should watch this upcoming drama set in the same universe ahead of series 4 debut
Lincoln Lawyer is expected to return for season four later this year or potentially early 2026 on Netflix. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from The Lincoln Lawyer. Lincoln Lawyer fans are eagerly waiting for the Netflix hit's comeback but in the meantime, there is another show from the works of author Michael Connelly on the way. Season three of Mickey Haller's (played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) dropped on Netflix in October 2024, ending with a cliffhanger, which could mean the charming lawyer is going to be put behind bars. Thankfully, that's not quite the end of the story just yet with The Lincoln Lawyer renewed for season four a few months later, although an official release date hasn't been announced. The Netflix legal drama is based on the award-winning book series by author Michael Connelly with series four expected to be based on his sixth novel, The Law of Innocence. But while fans wait for its return, another book set in Connelly's universe, as well as Prime Video's Bosch, is gearing up to come out. Based on the author's Renee Ballard book series, Ballard is the next crime drama to be released on Prime Video. Inspired by real-life LAPD Detective Mitzi Roberts, who was also a consultant on Bosch, Ballard is relentless and smart with a strong moral compass that guides everything that she does. In the books, she works on the LAPD midnight shift and focuses on her complicated relationship with being on the force as well as her own issues. Ballard will be portrayed by Designated Survivor actress Maggie Q who got her initial introduction during the series finale of Bosch: Legacy. She teamed up with Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) to work on the Flower Girls missing women case which has been deemed as the toughest of his career. Ballard will be released on Tuesday, July 9, on Prime Video and will consist of 10 episodes in total. Q will be joined by Fargo star John Carroll Lynch as Ballard's seasons partner Tomas Laffront, as well as actress Courtney Taylor as her ex-protégé Samira Park. It has already been confirmed that Welliver will reprise his role as Harry Bosch in the drama as it picks up after the Bosch: Legacy finale. As of yet, there has been no confirmation that Lincoln Lawyer star Garcia-Rulfo or any other members of the Netflix cast are going to feature.

I'm a huge Oasis fan and this is the setlist I want to hear and it's missing one massive tune
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A certain Manchester band is making something of a comeback this week - the first time they will have performed on stage together in 16 years. As if you didn't know.... Oasis shocked music fans all over the world last August when they announced a reunion tour which was expected to generate quite a large demand for tickets. The exact level of that demand cannot have been predicted by anyone, however, perhaps not even the Gallagher brothers themselves. Fans across the UK and indeed the globe seemed to spend the whole of August 30 (pre-sale) and August 31 last year glued to their phones or stuck to their desks as an unprecedented quest for concert tickets in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin got underway. The band also announced further dates in cities across the world. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here, reports Wales Online. Fans both elated at getting tickets and devastated at missing out got on with their lives as Oasis Live '25 seemed like an age away. Well not anymore, it's now just around the corner and the biggest and most anticipated comeback in rock or pop history (sorry ABBA fans, the band has to actually be at the concerts for it to count) will kick-off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5. I've been an Oasis fan since I overheard (What's the Story) Morning Glory? making its way from my sister's bedroom in 1995. For the 12-year-old me, all of a sudden Michael Jackson and Wet Wet Wet cassettes were abandoned to the back of the cupboard and I had a new hobby. After wearing out the 'Morning Glory' tape by constantly rewinding tracks three and four, a pocket-money frugal teenage me then bought Definitely Maybe on CD (fancy!). I was hooked. Be Here Now followed in 1997, and although things were never quite the same after that, those first three or four years of being obsessed with indie music and guitars are etched within my soul forever. Now, thirty years after first hearing those distorted tones across the landing, Oasis are back, and attention turns to exactly what songs the band are actually going to sing during their upcoming epic tour. It's important to stress at this point that as music is probably the most subjective of all the arts, everyone is entitled to their opinion, including me (yes, I'm talking to you in the comments section/on Facebook). (Image: PA) As all Oasis fans will agree, the band simply have too many good and popular songs for it to be possible for them to please everyone, and they can't sing non-stop for three hours each night. With that in mind I've whittled things down to 21 songs (they played 22 the last time they were at the Principality - then Millennium - Stadium in 2009). They could of course mix things up as the tour goes along, but as the band has not written or recorded any new material despite the hype surrounding them pretty much guaranteeing that even the most formulaic of new offerings would be a smash hit, we can comfortably assume that the lads are planning on playing things a bit safe. So what I have done below is devised MY dream setlist. This is not the setlist I think it will be, but the setlist I would personally pick were I to win a competition and Noel and Liam said 'you pick'. The first point which is likely to make people click off this article faster than a cannonball is my omission of Supersonic, which everybody loves and both Gallagher brothers have claimed is among their favourite ever Oasis songs. Again, this is my list, and I never really took to Supersonic. 'She done it with a doctor on a helicopter' - meh. As for other considerations, the opening track is going to be a big deal for fans paying hundreds of pounds (some even more that!) to see their favourite '90s band. Again, without wishing to be a contrarian, I do not want to hear Rock 'n' Roll Star as the opener in Cardiff. Why? It's undoubtedly a great song, but I've seen Oasis several times over the years and they more often than not opened with Rock 'n' Roll Star, including when they last played in Cardiff back in 2009. I've also seen Liam Gallagher performing solo in recent years and he always tends to start with it. It's a fine song, and undeniably deserves its spot in the setlist, but Oasis have a plethora of fast-paced 'bangers' capable of making the crowd go mad for it from the off in a vast stadium: Morning Glory, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Shock of the Lightning, Hello....... The latter would make lyrical sense as it contains the words 'it's good to be back'. However, given that disgraced former rock star and paedophile Gary Glitter has a writing credit on it because the song borrowed that phrase and a section of melody from his 1973 hit Hello Hello I'm Back Again, it's probably best to leave that particular Oasis song in 1995, although Liam did hint in a post on X earlier this year that Hello would be played. We shall see...... The first song of the 2000 album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, F***** in the Bushes, has to be the walk-on music in my opinion. It's iconic, short, sharp, and whips everyone into a frenzy because it's become symbolic of who is about to walk out on stage. Elsewhere, it's important for me to make sure that different eras and albums are at least partly represented, otherwise Liam, Noel, 'Bonehead' and the rest might as well play Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? back-to-back and then exit stage right. Oasis competition Win tickets to see Oasis at Wembley Having said that, I'm not holding out much hope for live performances of any songs from 1997's Be Here Now, even though it's probably (maybe) my favourite Oasis album. That opinion - shared by nobody else on earth it seems - may well have its roots in nostalgia rather than quality songwriting and production values, but it would be nice to hear something from a record that, despite Noel publicly dismissing it several times, was ultimately the biggest selling UK album of 1997, one which shifted more than eight million copies all around the world. There are a couple of other notable exceptions: I love Up in the Sky but I'm not sure Liam can reach those high notes like it's 1994, especially with a busy summer ahead, and Whatever, with its brilliance largely stemming from a string section Oasis are unlikely to deploy in a stadium containing around 80,000 people. Anyway, here is my dream setlist of 21 songs for Oasis's comeback concerts at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4 and 5. Bring it on (down)...... (Walk on) F***** in the Bushes 1. Morning Glory 2. Some Might Say 3. Lyla 4. Acquiesce 5. Cigarettes and Alcohol 6. Stand By Me 7. Stop Crying Your Heart Out 8. Wonderwall (Noel Gallagher vocal section) 9. Don't Look Back in Anger 10. Masterplan 11. Half the World Away 12. The Importance of Being Idle (Liam Gallagher returns) 13. D'You Know What I Mean? 14. My Big Mouth 15. Roll It Over 16. Slide Away 17. Champagne Supernova (Encore) 18. Shock of the Lightning 19. Stay Young 20. Live Forever 21. Rock 'n' Roll Star With now less than a month to go, you can find all the details about the Principality Stadium gigs here.
