Overview
- HBO Max released a trailer on Thursday, September 10, 2026, and has scheduled the four‑episode series to premiere on 13 November 2026.
- Clangold reconstructs the March 2017 theft of the 100‑kilogram Canadian 'Big Maple Leaf,' a coin valued at about €3.75 million.
- The films show how thieves entered through a window, removed the coin on a wheelbarrow and trolley, and note that suspects were later convicted while the coin itself remains missing and was likely cut up and sold.
- The series was produced by beetz brothers, directed by Jan Zabeil, produced by Christian Beetz with Georg Tschurtschenthaler as executive producer and Anke Greifeneder as HBO Max editorial lead, and it received funding from the German Motion Picture Fund and Medienboard Berlin‑Brandenburg.
- By bringing a major German true‑crime case to a global streamer, the documentary may sharpen public focus on the investigative challenges posed by clan‑structured organized crime and could lead to renewed scrutiny of policing and prosecution tactics.
