Overview

• 'Späti' premiered on ZDF's streaming platform on March 28, 2025, and will air on ZDFneo starting April 8, 2025.
• The series follows Fred, a hapless regular, who takes over managing a Berlin Späti when the owner leaves for Turkey, facing chaotic challenges and eccentric customers.
• Critics praise the show's depiction of Berlin's Späti culture as community hubs but criticize its reliance on clichés and uneven storytelling.
• Notable guest appearances, including Bill Kaulitz, Sophie Passmann, and Ski Aggu, add appeal to the series.
• While the show captures Berlin's urban charm, its caricatured characters and lack of originality have drawn comparisons to more successful sitcoms like 'Die Discounter.'
