Natascha McElhone to Star in Italy-Set Period Drama 'Hotel Portofino'

Former Designated Survivor star Natascha McElhone is set to star in period drama Hotel Portofino, a historical family story that takes place on the Italian Riviera during the 1920s.

The series will be a classic whodunnit-style mystery with clues and revelations woven throughout, as the characters go about their daily lives in an Italy where Benito Mussolini’s brand of fascism was on the rise.

It is the first original commission from London-based production firm Eagle Eye Drama, the folks behind the remake of the Belgian crime drama Professor T that's coming to Masterpiece later this summer.
