Tucci moves *Tucci in Italy* to UK for Season 2

Stanley Tucci is packing his bags—again. The beloved actor and food explorer announced that *Tucci in Italy*, his Emmy-nominated travel and cooking series, is shifting production to the United Kingdom for its next season. The move marks a pivot for the show, which has spent years tracing Italy’s culinary soul under Nat Geo’s banner.

This isn’t Tucci’s first big change. After three Emmy wins for his 2021 CNN series *Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy*, the actor launched a spin-off in 2022 with *Tucci in Italy*, blending personal travelogue with food storytelling. The show’s warm tone and Tucci’s sharp, curious narration earned two Emmy nominations, including this year’s outstanding host category. Now, the series is trading Mediterranean landscapes for British shores—likely reflecting production logistics and new creative direction.

Tucci, who moved to London with his family years ago, hinted at the shift during an interview with *Variety*’s Awards Circuit Podcast. He confirmed filming is underway for the upcoming season, though details on filming locations or guests remain under wraps. The UK pivot could open doors to fresh stories, from Scotland’s whisky trails to London’s global kitchens, while keeping Tucci’s signature charm intact.

What’s next: a new season that tests Tucci’s ability to charm British audiences just as he did Italian ones. If past seasons are any guide, expect vivid storytelling, mouthwatering dishes, and perhaps even a few surprises. The move could also signal a long-term shift for Nat Geo’s travel programming, betting big on Tucci’s global appeal beyond Italy’s borders. Either way, it’s a reminder that even a man deeply tied to one place can keep exploring—with a fork in hand.
