Luca Bernabei Exiting ‘Medici’ Producer Lux Vide As Fremantle Ups Stake To 100%
DeadlineFriday, July 4, 2025 at 2:59:51 PM
Luca Bernabei, the longtime CEO of Italian production company Lux Vide (known for shows like Medici), is stepping down after 30 years with the firm. This comes as parent company Fremantle—which already owned 70% of Lux—takes full control by buying out the remaining stake. Bernabei, whose family co-founded the company, started as an associate producer in the '90s and rose to lead the business.
Editor’s Note: Big shifts in ownership like this often signal strategic changes—maybe more international projects or tighter integration with Fremantle’s global network. For fans of Lux’s lavish historical dramas, it’s worth watching whether the creative direction shifts post-Bernabei. It’s also a reminder of how legacy family-run production houses are increasingly being absorbed by media giants.
