Apple TV+ has set the global premiere date for Berlin ER (formerly known as KRANK Berlin), a new hospital-set drama from Germany.
Berlin ER is a gritty, edgy drama that stars Haley Louise Jones (Dear Child, Paradise, Professor T., Einstein) as Dr. Parker, who manages a chaotic emergency room in the toughest and most overcrowded hospital in Berlin. It’s no small task for the young doctor, whose life in Munich imploded, which prompted her to move to the big city of Berlin for a fresh start.
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 health care system, the battered team must put aside their differences and pull together to save lives.
Berlin ER premieres globally with two episodes on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, exclusively on Apple TV+. One new episode will drop every Wednesday through April 9.
The eight-episode series costars Slavko Popadić (Crooks, Tatort: Streets of Berlin), with Şafak Şengül (Clashing Differences), Aram Tafreshian (Dogs of Berlin), Samirah Breuer (The Gryphon), Bernhard Schütz (Barbarians), Peter Lohmeyer (Tatort), and Benjamin Radjaipour (No Hard Feelings) in the ensemble cast.
Co-created by former emergency room physician-turned-screenwriter Samuel Jefferson and award-winning producer Viktor Jakovleski (Brimstone & Glory), Berlin ER is directed by Alex Schaad (Skin Deep) and Fabian Möhrke (Eichwald, MdB).
The series 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 Henning Kamm (Unorthodox) serving as executive producers. Beta Film handles international rights.
