Netflix has set the global premiere date for Crooks, a new crime drama series from Germany starring Frederick Lau and Christoph Krutzler.
Crooks stars Frederick Lau (Rising High, 4 Blocks) as Charly, a former safecracker who lives a quiet life in Berlin with his family — until his criminal past catches up with him and he is forced by old associates to break into a safe and steal a valuable coin, lest his family be harmed.
The coin holds an unusual significance, and as such puts Charly in the crossfire between a Berlin clan, a Serbian gang of burglars, a Vienna pimp, the Marseille mafia, and a mysterious master thief — all of whom have their reasons for wanting the coin for themselves.
But things quickly go sideways and a deadly shootout ensues. Now the fates of Charly and Joseph (Christoph Krutzler, Freud, Altes Geld), the driver for a Vienna gang, are inextricably entwined as they are forced to flee to get Charly’s family to safety while being chased by the gangs. Their only hope to hold their own against gangs and save what’s important to them is to trust in their friendship.
Crooks, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Thursday, April 4, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.)
The cast includes Svenja Jung (Deutschland 89), Karl Welunschek (Freud), Georg Friedrich (Freud), Jonathan Tittel (Helen Dorn), Kida Khodr Ramadan (4 Blocks), Erdal Yıldız (10 Days of a Good Man), Nima “Nimo” Yaghobi (Skylines), Lukas Watzl (The Winemaker), Maya Unger (Walking on Sunshine), Jan Georg Schütte (Babylon Berlin), Robert Finster (Freud), Veysel Gelin (4 Blocks), Branko Samarovski (Perfume), Brigitte Kren (Freud), and Virginie Peignien (Research Unit).

It is produced by W&B Television’s Quirin Berg and Max Wiedemann (Dark, Tribes of Europa, Pagan Peak, The Gryphon).
