Overview

• All eight episodes have been available to stream on ZDF since August 22, with the ZDFneo TV rollout starting August 24 at 20:15 and continuing on August 31 and September 7.
• The story follows adult Peppi, who was left off a class reunion list, returning to Duisburg as he addresses viewers directly while reflecting on his teenage years in 2006.
• A clandestine cinema film download triggers a copyright warning that forces Peppi’s clique to seek money, setting their plan in motion without revealing later turns.
• Johannes Kienast plays the adult lead and Nico Marischka portrays the teenage version, with creators Arkadij Khaet and Mickey Paatzsch framing the series around performative toughness of the era.
• Millennial nostalgia infuses the production through Kazaa-era tech, MP3 players and flip phones, period songs by Eko Fresh, Alexander Klaws, Sabrina Setlur, US5 and Tokio Hotel, plus cameos announced from Mola Adebisi, Jeanette Biedermann, Menderes and Britt.
