Their high-end drama productions include Amazon’s Emmy Award-winning »The Man in the High Castle« and three seasons of »Medici« for Netflix and Rai, and »Leonardo«, which is based on the famous Italian artist played by Aidan Turner, and was co-created and written by Spotnitz, and co-produced by Big Light Productions and Lux Vide, for Rai and Amazon Prime. Most recently, Big Light co-produced series 2 of Patrick Dempsey drama »Devils« for Sky and is in production on a series of scripted podcasts with Audible UK, the first of which was the newly released »Radioman«, starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
