Based on Volker Kutscher’s best-selling novels, the 16-hour series by the director/writer trio Tom Tykwer, Hendrik Handloegten and Achim von Borries centers on police inspector Gereon Rath and delivers an atmospheric portrayal of Berlin as the most exciting city in the world during the Roaring Twenties, a hotbed of drugs and politics, murder and art, emancipation and extremism.
BABYLON BERLIN, which is the first production to shoot at the new Studio Babelsberg “Neue Berliner Straße” backlot, features a stellar cast including Matthias Brandt, Hannah Herzsprung and Karl Markovics and headed up by Volker Bruch as Rath and Liv Lisa Fries as his assistant Charlotte.
