ZDF Releases 'Ku'damm 77' for Streaming Ahead of January TV Premiere

The fourth chapter moves the Schöllack family saga into 1970s Berlin using a film‑within‑a‑film approach.

Overview

  • All six episodes are available in the ZDF-Mediathek from December 27, 2025, with the linear broadcast scheduled as three 90‑minute films on January 12–14, 2026.
  • The Mediathek version is split into six 45‑minute installments and will remain available for one year, reflecting ZDF’s hybrid release strategy.
  • Set in 1977, the season follows three generations living above the Galant dance school as the story advances to late‑’70s Berlin.
  • A restitution claim tied to a 1936 transfer from a Jewish family anchors the central conflict, alongside storylines addressing drugs, racism and sexism.
  • Creator Annette Hess returns as writer with Maurice Hübner directing, and Sabin Tambrea rejoins the cast in a new role alongside Claudia Michelsen, Sonja Gerhardt, Emilia Schüle and Maria Ehrich.
