Directed by Mark Water, La Dolce Villa is a forthcoming project of Netflix; the director is known to deliver some acclaimed projects including Mean Girls, Vampire Academy, Mr Popper’s Penguins, and more. Along with the series, it will serve as the third collaboration of Waters with Netflix. He made his Netflix debut with the 2021 He’s All That, followed by a Rom-Com Mother of The Bride, which is set to release in May 2024.
What Are the Release Dates of La Dolce Villa?
La Dolce Villa, a Netflix original, commenced its filming on March 11, 2024. With the shooting location in Rome and Italy, Water shared an update about the series in January 2024 in an Instagram post wherein he was searching for shooting locations. In the Instagram post, he wrote,
Scouting for my next movie, saw Tuscany for the first time, completely the wrong way – cold, rushing through in a van, hopping out to dismiss beautiful jewels of cities. “Too big” “Too small” “Don’t like the pavement.” Here’s hoping the shoot will be more luxurious…
While the filming commenced in March 2024, it is expected to wrap in May 2024.
Hence, going with the schedule, the film is likely to make its debut in early 2025.
