About this deal

Utilised to impressive effect by show runners Tom Tykwer and Achim von Borries, respectively responsible for seminal German hits Run Lola Run and Good Bye Lenin!, you can see the Bauhaus and Lang visual influences at play over the contradictions of opulence and hardship in the streets.

The rest of the cast is also very good looking, but still keeping the beauty standars accurate with the early 20th century. Their nude bodies are beautiful, but never arousing. The nakedness is constant, but never out of place. And people smoke all the time, whic is also accurate. There is almost no scene without a cigarette. Babylon Berlin," the TV series adaptedfrom the novels of Cologne-based author Volker Kutscher, has created ripples worldwide.

Babylon Berlin is a co-production between ARD Degeto (a German free TV network) and Sky Deutschland, a Comcast subsidiary and satellite TV provider. The licensing agreement allows Sky to air the show first, as it did in fall 2022, then ARD gets the rights later before it lives on both channels’ platforms. This is of course just how rights work in Germany; in the dozens of other territories the rights go through different networks, like in the U.S. where it goes through Netflix. Two names, NSDAPmembers Richard Pechtmann and Horst Kessler, stand out on the secret list with initials beside them and Rath discovers that they are Fritz's and Otto's real names. Litten agrees to take Greta's case pro bono and Charlotte offers to help at the office in return. Kessler and Pechtmann search Elisabeth's apartment. She hides Katelbach and delivers the documents to Heymann, after losing Pechtmann's tail. Helga finds out that she's pregnant. Pretending to be a Nazi, Rath breaks into Kessler's rooms and finds Erna who tells him Kessler is at a Hitler Youth camp. Babylon Berlin is the most expensive German television drama ever made. It’s also the most successful, with its depiction of Weimar Republic-era Berlin having been shown in more than 100 countries worldwide. Since its early seasons this detective noir show has exploded with colour, razzle-dazzle, danger and sweeping set pieces, and it has now spent five years vividly bringing to life a decade-long flash of chaotic democracy that ended in economic turmoil, corruption and, ultimately, fascism. With its superb opening titles, breathless, trippy pace and extravagant song-and-dance numbers – last season even saw a turn from Bryan Ferry, singing a German jazz version of his song Bitter-Sweet – heady, dangerous times have never been better depicted.

But what does that mean for the series finale? “It’s probably going pretty dark,” says Fries, acutely aware of the likely grim fate of her character. “Don’t expect something bright. Maybe it’s going to end tragically. I trust the writers. They invented something so complex, and it refers so much to my picture of how I see the world now, how I see people, how I want things to be. I’m very glad to be a part of that.” The writers for the new season are Achim von Borries, Bettine von Borries, Henk Handloegten, Khyana El Bitar, and Tom Tykwer, with Handloegten, von Borries and Tykwer directing once more. The next morning, I have a private visit to Theater im Delphi, which, as a silent-film cinema, once played host to the likes of Marlene Dietrich and Fritz Lang, managed to survive both the second world war and the GDR, and is now a theatre performance space, doubling as the legendary flapper club Moka Efti in Babylon Berlin. The soaring archways, shabby-chic faded paintwork and mottled plastering seem to sum up the era perfectly – beautiful, decadent, damaged. There is a full programme of events so you can see the space yourself, but their Christmas performances of The Little Prince are something particularly special. The homicide department brings in Dr. Schmidt to conduct a psychic reading to find Weintraub. At her suggestion, a follow-up inspection on the roof of the film studios is carried out and Rath finds a bloody knife, identical to the one already found where Weintraub and Vera fell. Edgar is released from jail and makes peace with Esther, and accepts that she will complete the film. He discover's Weintraub's hiding place and tells him that, once he has recovered, he must leave his house and never have anything to do with Esther and himself again.

The story so far

compositing supervisor: RISE Visual Effects Studios / digital compositor: RISE Visual Effects Studios / compositing supervisor (17 episodes, 2017-2020) Season 4 of the series is based on "Goldstein," the third novelin author Volker Kutscher'sbook series and takes place in the years 1930-1931, during the global economic depression. Severija Janušauskaitė as Countess Svetlana Sorokina ("Sveta")/ Nikoros, a White Russian émigré, crossdressing singer at the Moka Efti cabaret, and spy for the Soviet secret police (seasons 1–2) The answer is complicated. As best as we can tell, Babylon Berlin won’t come to the U.S. until after it airs on ARD. As of May of this year, it was coming to the channel on Oct. 1, which should hopefully mean the Netflix rights will be secured sometime after that.
