Watch ‘White Lotus’ Star Sabrina Impacciatore and Venice Chief Alberto Barbera in Clip From Italy’s ‘Call My Agent’ (EXCLUSIVE)

“The White Lotus” star Sabrina Impacciatore and Venice Film Festival director Alberto Barbera play alternate versions of themselves on the final episode of the Italian adaptation of “Call My Agent,” which was released this weekend on pay-TV Sky Italia.

Shot in September 2023, during the real Venice event, the show sees Impacciatore play the fest’s master of ceremonies who, wearing a red gown, disembarks with her agent from a motorboat on the Lido at the Excelsior Hotel dock, greeted by throngs of fans and paparazzi. She then starts acting a bit strange, speaking to Barbera in English instead of Italian and almost falling into the lagoon, as seen in the above exclusive subtitled clip.

Impacciatore, who played Valentina, the hotel manager in the Sicily-set second season of “White Lotus,” was mostly unknown outside of Italy before appearing in the hit HBO show which also gave her domestic career a nice boost. She will next appear in American action thriller “G20” directed by Patricia Riggen and produced by Amazon MGM Studios, and in Julian Schnabel’s indie drama “The Hand of Dante” which may launch from Venice in September.

Besides Impacciatore, the second season of “Call My Agent – Italia” features horror master Dario Argento, director Gabriele Muccino and actors Valeria Golino, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Gian Marco Tognazzi, Claudio Santamaria, Serena Rossi and Davide Devenuto, as well as singer and actor Elodie.

The successful series adaptation is produced by Sky Studios and Italy’s Palomar, directed by Luca Ribuoli and written by Lisa Nur Sultan with Federico Baccomo and Dario D’Amato.

Sky Studios Italy chief Nils Hartmann has already announced that a third installment of “Call My Agent – Italia” is in the works.
