Berlin ER Apple TV+ Launch Date Announced

Today, Apple TV+ revealed the premiere date for Berlin ER (formerly known as “KRANK Berlin”), the upcoming edgy German-language medical drama co-created by former emergency room physician-turned-screenwriter Samuel Jefferson together with Viktor Jakovleski.

The dynamic eight-episode series will make its global debut with the first two episodes on Wednesday, February 26, 2025 on Apple TV+, followed by one episode weekly on Wednesdays through April 9, 2025.

In the series, managing a chaotic emergency room in the toughest and most overcrowded hospital in Berlin is no small task for the young Dr. Parker (Haley Louise Jones), who is seeking a fresh start in the big city after her private life implodes in Munich.

When she tries to implement necessary reforms, Parker is confronted with resistance from the underpaid, ill-equipped and chronically fatigued hospital staff who only survive with an indispensable dose of black humor.

But in the face of an increasingly merciless health care system, the battered team must put aside their differences and pull together to save lives.

Berlin ER stars Haley Louise Jones (Dear Child, Paradise) and Slavko Popadić (Crooks), alongside an ensemble cast including Şafak Şengül (Rabiye Kurnaz vs. George W. Bush), Aram Tafreshian (Dogs of Berlin), Samirah Breuer (The Gryphon), Bernhard Schütz (Barbarians), Peter Lohmeyer (I Don’t Work Here) and Benjamin Radjaipour (No Hard Feelings).

Hailing from Violet Pictures and Real Film Berlin, Berlin ER is produced for ZDFneo and Apple TV+, with Violet Pictures’ Alexis von Wittgenstein (Oktoberfest: Beer & Blood) and Real Film Berlin’s Emmy Award-nominated Henning Kamm (Unorthodox) serving as executive producers.

Berlin ER is directed by Alex Schaad (Skin Deep) and Fabian Möhrke (Eichwald, MdB). International rights are handled by Beta Film.
