DAS BOOT

Inspired by Wolfgang Petersen’s Oscar®-nominated feature film and Lothar-Günther Buchheim’s eponymous best-sell­ing novel, the €25 million eight-episode event series starts in autumn 1942 as the U-boat campaign is becoming increasingly brutal and shows blind fanaticism pushing young men into a pointless war on land and at sea. The Lola-winning Austrian filmmaker Andreas Prochaska (THE DARK VALLEY) directs an international cast including GAME OF THRONES’ Tom Wlaschiha, Lizzy Caplan (MASTERS OF SEX), Vicky Krieps (PHANTOM THREAD) and Rainer Bock (SS GB) at locations in La Rochelle, Prague, Munich and Malta to premiere on Sky in Germany, Austria, Italy, the UK and Ireland at the end of 2018.
