CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA - October 2, 2025 - Amazon MGM Studios announced today that it has signed acclaimed actor Nicole Wallace, star of Prime Video's biggest international originals, Culpa Mia and Culpa Tuya, to an exclusive talent-holding deal marking the beginning of a creative collaboration designed to develop and showcase Wallace. Under the deal, she'll work with Amazon MGM Studios to find projects she can star in across the company's global television and film lineup on its streaming service, Prime Video. Wallace's first project under the deal will be to star in the recently announced English-language Italian Original Series, Postcards from Italy. Both announcements were made during Prime Video's Retreat event in Ibiza earlier today, celebrating its international successes with young adult audiences.
New Original series Postcards from Italy, is created by Lisa Riccardi and Damiano Bruè, and directed by Academy Award-winning director Jessica Yu (Quiz Lady, Fosse/Verdon, Only Murders in the Building, The Morning Show). Postcards from Italy follows the misadventures of Mia, a young and spoiled New York heiress who is sent by her grandfather to Palermo, without money or luxuries, to work as a real estate agent in the family business. Will an Upper West Side girl survive in Sicily without even a credit card? Production began in September. Postcards from Italy is co-produced by Amazon MGM Studios with Gaumont Italia and will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
"Nicole Wallace has connected with audiences worldwide through her authentic performance in the Culpables franchise," said Nicole Clemens, VP and Head of International Originals, Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios. "Her natural ability to bring emotional depth to her characters resonates with viewers across different countries and cultures. This talent deal represents our excitement about Nicole's global potential and reinforces our commitment to nurturing emerging international talent who can help tell compelling stories for our global audience."
"I'm incredibly excited to begin this new chapter with Amazon MGM Studios," said Nicole Wallace. "Their commitment to bold, fearless storytelling makes this partnership feel like the perfect creative home. As I prepare to play "Mia" in Postcards from Italy, directed by the brilliant Jessica Yu, I feel more inspired than ever to push myself creatively and explore characters with depth and complexity. This partnership is a dream opportunity to grow, collaborate with visionary voices, and help bring meaningful stories to life. I'm beyond grateful for this opportunity and thrilled for what's to come."
The holding deal comes off the heels of the incredible success of the Culpables franchise, based on Mercedes Ron's New York Times best-selling Culpables book trilogy. The first two films in the trilogy, titled Culpa Mía (2023) and Culpa Tuya (2024), in which Wallace starred, broke records as the most-watched International Originals across Prime Video in their respective years.
The trilogy's conclusion, Culpa Nuestra (Our Fault), will premiere on Prime Video on October 16, but has already broken records when its trailer became the most watched ever for an original streaming movie with 163 million views in one week.
Nicole also stars in the upcoming Amazon Original limited series from Chile, The House of Spirits from FilmNation, Fabula, and producer Eva Longoria, premiering in 2026. Based on Isabel Allende's critically acclaimed novel, she plays young "Clara del Valle" alongside an all-star Latin cast that includes Alfonso Herrera, Dolores Fonzi and Fernanda Castillo.
Previously, Nicole starred in the limited series Ni Una Mas (Raising Voices), based on Miguel Saez Carral's novel. The series debuted to 25.4 million viewers on Netflix and was the streamer's #1 non-English language drama in the world for two weeks, as well as #19 on the platform's 100 Most-Watched Series from January to June, 2024, despite having only been released on May 31.
Nicole's breakout role was on the Spanish series Skam España, based on the hit Norwegian teen drama. Her other film credits include Steffy Argelich's feature film Vera. In 2020, she became Dior's first beauty ambassador from Spain.
Based in Madrid, Nicole is a dual US/Spanish citizen and represented by TFC Management and Triana Management.
