The series will be directed by Sinnan Akkus and the writer is Tobias Oelle.

MadeFor Film have a number of other series in production, including long-running series  “Tatort,” which follows investigators Lessing and Dorn; along with “Frau Jordan Stellt Gleich” for Joyn and “Marie Catches Fire” for ZDF.

With additional series in production, we are optimistic about delivering a slate of drama and we are thrilled to be up and running with new scripted productions in Germany,”  said Nanni Erben, Joint CEO at MadeFor Film.
