Netflix Expands Joe Berlinger’s ‘Crime Scene’ Doc Franchise to Germany Under International Push
Netflix hired a local production team in Germany to create a local version of Joe Berlinger's 'Crime Scene' franchise set in Berlin
Berlinger served as an executive producer on the three-part series that reconstructs the case of several mysterious murders in Berlin’s nightlife that became nationally known as the “Coma Killer” in 2012. About the real-life mysterious disappearance, subsequent death and conspiracy theories surrounding tourist Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, the inaugural series drew in, according to Netflix, 45 million households in the first four weeks of its debut. The director says that Netflix has no plans to take that franchise to international local markets, explaining that the streamer is looking for subjects, serial killers or otherwise, that viewers around the world have heard of so that the program will resonate with them.
