Overview
- The series went live in the ARD Mediathek on Friday, October 30, 2026, will stream there for one year, and will air on Das Erste on Sunday, November 1 and again on Friday, November 6.
- Creators present a six-episode dramatization that compresses events and invents characters rather than claiming to be a documentary, a choice lead actor Albrecht Schuch has emphasised in interviews.
- The drama centres on themes exposed by a three-year Bundestag investigative committee: jurisdictional rivalry, unclear powers between agencies, and procedural gaps that critics say allowed Anis Amri to be missed.
- Casting and production details are public: Albrecht Schuch plays state-security officer Frank Laudin, Wael Alkhatib portrays Anis Amri, and the show is produced by NEUESUPER with ARD Degeto, rbb, NDR and HR.
- By dramatizing investigative failures while many committee documents remain sealed, the series has reopened public questions and may increase pressure from victims and families for greater transparency and accountability.
