Apple TV+ today unveiled the trailer for Where’s Wanda?, the eight-episode German-language dark comedy produced by UFA Fiction. The trailer allows you to watch it in German with English subtitles or dubbed in English.
Apple TV+’s first German original will premiere globally, with the first two episodes on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, followed by one episode weekly through November 13.
The series stars International Emmy Award nominee Heike Makatsch (Love Actually), German Comedy Award winner Axel Stein (The Vault), multiple award-winning actress Lea Drinda (The Gryphon), and newcomer Leo Simon.
Entrepreneur, actress, and author Nikeata Thompson (How to Dad), presenter and actress Palina Rojinski (Welcome to Germany), Kostja Ullmann (My Blind Date With Life), and rising star Harriet Herbig-Matten (Maxton Hall) also star.
Where’s Wanda? tells the story of Dedo and Carlotta Klatt (Stein and Makatsch), who are desperate to locate their missing 17-year-old daughter, Wanda (Drinda), who disappeared months ago without a trace.
When the police fail to find her, the family takes matters into their own hands, obtaining surveillance devices with the help of their tech-savvy son Ole (Simon).
Disguising themselves as employees of an electrical company, they bug first their neighborhood and then half their suburb, finding out that behind closed doors, none of their neighbors are who they pretend to be.
The series also features Devid Striesow (All Quiet on the Western Front), Jasmin Shakeri (The Magic Flute), and Joachim Król (The Most Desired Man).
Hailing from UFA Fiction, a Fremantle company, Where’s Wanda? was created, written, and executive produced by Royal Television Society nominee Oliver Lansley (Flack), alongside multiple award-winning executive producers Nataly Kudiabor (Arthur’s Law) and Sebastian Werninger (The Physician).
The Apple TV+ series is co-created and based on a story by Zoltan Spirandelli (Vaya con Dios). Where’s Wanda? is directed by critically acclaimed award-winning filmmakers Christian Ditter (How to Be Single), Tobi Baumann (Faking Hitler), and Facundo Scalerandi (How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)). Ditter also serves as an executive producer.
