“New season of 'Tucci in Italy' now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.”
The release of this season reflects a broader industry trend where legacy media brands like National Geographic rely on celebrity-led 'comfort' content to maintain subscriber retention on streaming platforms. By centering the series on a known personality, the network minimizes risk and maximizes the appeal to a wide demographic of travel and food enthusiasts.
