Apple TV+ has announced KRANK Berlin, a new German hospital drama series starring Haley Louise Jones.
Co-created by former emergency room physician-turned-screenwriter Samuel Jefferson and award-winning producer Viktor Jakovleski (Brimstone & Glory), KRANK Berlin stars Haley Louise Jones (Dear Child, Professor T., Einstein), along with Slavko Popadić (Crooks, House of Promises) and an ensemble cast that includes Şafak Şengül (Clashing Differences), Aram Tafreshian (The Weissensee Saga), Samirah Breuer (The Gryphon), Bernhard Schütz (Barbarians), and Peter Lohmeyer (Tatort).
In the eight-episode drama, Haley Louise Jones plays Dr. Parker, who manages a chaotic emergency room in the toughest and most overcrowded hospital in Berlin, which is no small task. Here in the big city, Parker is seeking a fresh start after her private life implodes in Munich. On the professional side, 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 healthcare system, the battered team must put aside their differences and pull together to save lives.
KRANK Berlin is produced by Violet Pictures and Real Film Berlin for ZDFneo and Apple TV+, with Violet Pictures’ Alexis von Wittgenstein (Oktoberfest: Beer & Blood) and Real Film’s Emmy® Award-nominated Henning Kamm (Unorthodox) serving as executive producers. The series is directed by Alex Schaad (Skin Deep) and Fabian Möhrke (Eichwald, MdB). Beta Film handles international rights.
Stay tuned for updates.
