ITV and BritBox in the UK have joined a drama set on the 1920s Italian Riviera from Eagle Eye Drama, the fledgling prodco set up by the team behind international drama brand Walter Presents.

Sky Italia and Foxtel in Australia will also air the series, titled Hotel Portofino, while PBS Distribution has taken North American sales rights.

Created and written by Matt Baker, it stars Natascha McElhone (Ronin) as the daughter of a wealthy industrialist who moves to Italy to set up a quintessentially British hotel in the beautiful town of Portofino..
