Stanley Tucci fans and foodies rejoice! After the Emmy-winning actor's Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy season 2 marked the end of the award-winning docuseries on CNN, the rumors of the show making a comeback have proven true, but with a new name and new home. National Geographic announced it has greenlit Tucci — The Heart of Italy (working title).
The show is going to be a 10-part docuseries that sees Tucci travel across Italy as "he unlocks the distinct flavors that define each region and discovers the rich versatility of Italy through those he meets along the journey," while he explores places off the beaten track and talks with fascinating people — professional chefs, amateur cooks, farmers, fishermen, winemakers, brewers and fellow eaters — to discuss the country’s food culture and other challenges facing the country. Sound familiar?
