ZDF's 'Love Sucks' Debuts as Daring Vampire Romance

The new series explores a perilous love between a human and a vampire, set against the backdrop of modern-day Frankfurt.

The series begins with a chilling scene where the protagonist Zelda witnesses her mother's murder by a vampire.
Zelda, now a boxer, falls for Ben von Greifenstein, a vampire, complicating her life due to her family's background as vampire hunters.
The show draws comparisons to 'Twilight' but distinguishes itself with a darker visual style and historical flashbacks.
Damian Hardung, known for 'Maxton Hall,' stars as Ben, while newcomer Havana Joy plays Zelda in her first major role.
Recognized for its bold storytelling, 'Love Sucks' has been awarded the Bernd-Burgemeister-Fernsehpreis at the Munich Film Festival.
