“Berlin Noir”: Apple Lands Next Big TV Adaptation With Bernie Gunther Prequel Series From ‘Conclave’ Writer Peter Straughan, Bad Wolf & Tom Hanks’ Playtone
Apple TV+ is making a Bernie Gunther prequel Berlin Noir TV show of the Philip Kerr books from Peter Straughan, Tom Hanks and Bad Wolf.
Gunther was made famous by Kerr’s Berlin Noir trilogy comprising March Violets, The Pale Criminal and A German Requiem, all of which were published around the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner’s Bad Wolf has jumped aboard in the past couple of years as has Apple, which has an exclusive deal with Playtone after making the likes of Greyhound and Masters of the Air. He has been quietly working on Berlin Noir for a while and mentioned the project on the Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein podcast earlier this month, which is hosted by the star of Ted Lasso, one of Apple TV+ ‘s biggest TV shows.
