TV (linear) Market: New Generation of 'Club der roten Bänder' Released

Executive Signal Summary

An interview on DWDL.de discusses the creation and launch of a new generation of the German series 'Club der roten Bänder.' Producers Hauke Bartel and Gerda Müller describe their intent to create a new story that respects the original's legacy while avoiding direct continuations. The new series was developed editorially by Solveig Willkommen, written by Adrian Spring (with Kristen Loose helping develop the season arc), directed by Felix Binder and Aki Wegner, and features a young cast including Voicu Dumitras, Jona Levin Nicolai, Greta Krämer, Mariama Jobe and Yoran Leicher. The show is available on RTL+ and will air in double episodes on Vox from September 8; the new run is six episodes long and places greater emphasis on mental-health storylines.
