Summer Job is a brand new Netflix show in 2022 that sees a group of young people have a surprise of a summer in Mexico. Matthias is just one of the show’s contestants who thinks he’s in for a dream vacation.
However, the Summer Job cast will have a shock when they realize, in Too Hot To Handle-style, that they’re actually on a different type of holiday and TV show.
The group of twenty-somethings travel from Italy to Riviera Maya for an experience of a lifetime. But, their vacation isn’t free, and they have to earn it by working.
Meet Matthias
Matthias De Donà is 18 years old and hails from Veneto, a small town near Treviso.
The 18-year-old is no stranger to globe-trotting as he attended a private college in London. Matthias explains on Summer Job that he got straight A’s and a distinction at school.
He’s never worked in his life, and just like the rest of his cast mates, he hates the idea of working. He thanks his dad for not having to ever work.

He arrived at the show’s villa alongside Melina De Macedo in episode 1, who he described as “exuberant.”
Speaking on Summer Job, Matthias says that his “full-time job” is himself and that he’s ready to have “a lot of fun” on his holiday.
Is Matthias on Instagram?
