RIVIERA - JULIA STILES INTERVIEW

It’s a bummer that we can’t travel right now. But stream your escape from your living room with the return of the glamorous Sundance Now Original thriller Riviera. 

Riviera features gorgeous scenery and a fantastic lead performance by Julia Stiles (Hustlers, 10 Things I Hate About You). She’s a Golden Globe-nominated actress. And she also serves as the show’s executive producer. The glamorous thriller and Sundance Now Original returns with a new season. In the U.S. and Canada, it premiers on AMC Networks’ streaming service Sundance Now.

Riviera’s new season takes the glitz and glamour of the Riviera around the globe and featuring gorgeous fashion and even more stunning locations. It will be available to stream exclusively on Sundance Now, with a new episode available every following Thursday.

The lavish 8-part season is part of Sky Atlantic’s most successful original drama to date. It adds Rupert Graves (Sherlock) and and Clare-Hope Ashitey (Children of Men, Suspects) as new cast members. Returning cast members include Poppy Delevingne (Kingsman: The Golden Circle) and Jack Fox (Sanditon). Sundance Now is AMC Networks’ premiere streaming service for engrossing true crime, heart-stopping dramas. It also has fiercely intelligent thrillers from around the world.

A year has passed since the explosive finale of the last season and Georgina (Stiles) has abandoned the cursed Riviera. She leaves all of the Riviera’s devastation and damage behind to start a new life. Now a rising star in international art restitution, she has reinvented herself as Georgina Ryland. She travels the globe with a charming and charismatic new ally, Gabriel Hirsch (Graves). They attempt to unravel a gilded conspiracy involving stolen artworks that will take them from Venice to Saint-Tropez to Argentina.

Julia Stiles has never been better and reinvents herself in this third season of the successful series. Julia wanted more involvement on the show because of the glitz, the glamour, the intrigue and exotic locations. They’re also why she added ‘executive producer’ to her resume for this new season.

I spoke with Julia Stiles via ZOOM who is in Winnipeg shooting her next film, the sequel to the hit horror movie, Orphan.
