German ‘Ghosts’ Remake Goes Into Production At ARD/WDR


BBC and CBS sitcom 'Ghosts' is getting a German remake on WDR/ARD Mediathek.

German pubcaster WDR and streamer ARD Mediathek have commissioned a six-part series, with Erik Haffner directing and BBC Studios Germany producing its first in-house production. The bizarre and chaotic apparitions include neanderthal Urs (Jan van Weyde), Roman legionnaire Claudius (Max Giermann), countess Adelheid (Antje Widdra), feminist maid Griet (Meltem Kaptan), insurance salesman Joachim (Sebastian Schwarz), teacher Svenni (Sina Tkotsch) and love-hungry poet Friedrich Dorn (Alexander Khuon). “For our first in-house produced series, we were able to win a fantastic ensemble that will fill the characters created by our team of writers Aylin Kockler and Yves Hensel with a lot of humour and emotions.”
