Call My Agent Berlin: German Adaptation of Hit French Series Set for US Premiere

The new German comedy-drama series, Call My Agent Berlin, is set for its US and global premiere.

The original French Call My Agent!, the Best Comedy award winner at the 2021 International Emmy® Awards, is an excellent series, worth every minute you’ll spend (or have spent) watching its four seasons. So popular is it that multiple local versions have been produced, including the Italian Call My Agent – Italia, the British Ten Percent, and the South Korean Behind Every Star, amongst others.

Now we have Call My Agent Berlin. Set in Germany’s capital, this new comedy-drama series follows the staff at the Stern Talent Agency, where celebs, drama, and intrigue are part of daily life in and out of the office. After the death of the company’s founder, the agency is on the verge of bankruptcy and faces collapse. If the place is going to survive (not to mention their careers), the agents must do what needs must to keep their existing roster of stars, bring in new talent, and secure some smart deals for their clients. They’re a talented (and manipulative) bunch themselves, who will go through hell and high water for their bread and butter, so every battle they fight brings the agency closer to triumph — or ruin.

Call My Agent Berlin, a Hulu Original, premieres in the US as a six-episode binge tomorrow, Friday, September 12, exclusively on Hulu and the Disney+/Hulu/HBO Max bundle. (You can add it to your watchlist now.) The six-episode series will launch as a Disney+ Original in international markets.
