Rickster February 7, 2023 Share February 7, 2023 8 hours ago, Yeah No said: CNN must have said to him, "We can't afford you, but we can afford Eva Longoria". I think Stanley must have had a good idea that some other network would be willing to pay his price or he wouldn't have told Jimmy Fallon he was definitely planning on doing more seasons even after the cancellation. He probably can't talk about it yet while he's negotiating. Fingers crossed! It’s also possible that the Longoria show was already in production when CNN changed direction. It’s different than a renewal. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/115258-stanley-tucci-searching-for-italy/page/9/#findComment-7860447
aghst February 7, 2023 Author Share February 7, 2023 (edited) He had some other roles before seasons 1 and 2. May explain why season 2 came out later, especially the last 4 EVs. Probably more money in those other roles. Maybe caused friction because season 2 was delayed. Also, he didn’t seem as into it in season 2, at least in some episodes.

Rickster April 30, 2023 Share April 30, 2023 Sounds like there will be a third season….. Stanley was interviewed at length in a segment this morning on NBC by Willie Geist. It covered his life and career and a bit about the success of Searching For Italy. Towards the end(maybe badly edited), Stanley mutters, “we’ll know more in a week or so, it’ll be somewhere”. Willie clarified back in the studio by saying, “stay tuned for news about an upcoming third season of Searching For Italy”. (Quotes are from the best of my recollection) Here’s hoping it’s not going to be on a premium streaming channel, like Peacock. I’m a little suspicious with NBC promoting the show. 2 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/115258-stanley-tucci-searching-for-italy/page/9/#findComment-7980833
aghst April 30, 2023 Author Share April 30, 2023 Stanley is on Citadel, which is getting heavily panned. However, Amazon has committed reportedly $300 million so he's going to have that project competing for whatever time he may have for Searching for Italy, if there are newer seasons. I guess he owns this show so he's motivated to sell it to another service if they will make it lucrative enough. 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/115258-stanley-tucci-searching-for-italy/page/9/#findComment-7980897

buttersister December 15, 2023 Share December 15, 2023 We walked into a small grocery store in that area—the deli counter had a tub of the brightest green, smoothest pesto we’d seen since dinner the night before.

I think I one had a pesto dish in Levanto, which was just north of Cinque Terre.
