Netflix recently released the trailer and images for Summer Job, the first original Italian reality show produced by Banijay Italia. The video streaming platform has therefore shown the 10 young competitors who will be involved: let’s get to know them better.
The first video images present the 10 young Summer Job candidates: Angelica, Gian Marco, Lavinia, Marina, Matthias, Melina, Pietro, Pit, Samuele and Sofia. The participants will be accompanied by Matilde Gioli, who will guide and support them to overcome the many challenges they will face during the 8 episodes. The protagonists, aged 18 to 23, are chosen to spend a dream vacation in a paradise villa in Mexico, on the Riviera Maya. Partying and having fun seems like the only thing they’ll have to think about. What they don’t know, however, is that to continue the adventure and have the most amazing vacation of their lives, they’ll have to do something they’ve never done in their life: work.
Summer Job, what to expect from the first Italian reality show for Netflix
After the first 24 hours during which they will be able to enjoy all the comforts made available, young candidates for summer jobs will discover that everything has a cost. To live an exotic dream adventure, the price to pay will be to face their first professional experience. In order to increase the weekly budget and keep having fun, they will have to work in some of the local Riviera businesses under the supervision and judgment of very demanding bosses.
Divided into groups of 2 or 3 people each, they will try their hand at different summer jobs each week (waiters, animal shelter helpers, maintenance and gardening workers, etc.). Those who do not complete the work assigned to them by the employer or who do not do so with commitment, will not receive their salary on the weekend and risk elimination.
