So that viewers have a healthy selection of shows and movies to choose from and for proof… look at their upcoming fall lineup.
​
Since the French, fashioned themed series, La Maison, will soon debut, as will the Spanish Language medical drama, Midnight Family. Plus, we are in the midst of enjoying the powerhouse Spanish Language series, Women in Blue (Las Azules) on the network, and there is more on the horizon. For recently Apple let it be known that the dark comedy series, Where’s Wanda?, which hails from the land of Germany, will soon be making its debut on the streamer and that particular gem is of note… simply because Apple TV+ made a point to release a trailer for it today. To showcase this inventive new series, and to properly celebrate its pending arrival, here is that trailer and all the details regarding the show. As we prepare to once again travel about the globe via Apple TV+.

‘Apple TV+ today unveiled the trailer for “Where’s Wanda?,” the eight-episode German-language dark comedy, produced by UFA Fiction, stars International Emmy Award nominee Heike Makatsch (“Love Actually”), German Comedy Award winner Axel Stein (“The Vault”), multiple award-winning actress Lea Drinda ("The Gryphon”), newcomer Leo Simon, entrepreneur, actress and author Nikeata Thompson (“How to Dad”), presenter and actress Palina Rojinski (“Welcome to Germany”), Kostja Ullmann (“My Blind Date With Life”) and rising star Harriet Herbig-Matten (“Maxton Hall”). Apple TV+’s first German original will premiere globally with the first two episodes on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, followed by one episode weekly through November 13.

“Where’s Wanda?” tells the story of Dedo and Carlotta Klatt (Stein and Makatsch), who are desperate to locate their missing 17-year-old daughter Wanda (Drinda), who disappeared months ago without a trace. When the police fail to find her, the family takes matters into their own hands, obtaining surveillance devices with the help of their tech-savvy son Ole (Simon). Disguising themselves as employees of an electrical company, they bug first their neighborhood and then half their suburb, finding out that behind closed doors none of their neighbors are who they pretend to be.
 
The series also features Devid Striesow (“All Quiet on the Western Front”), Jasmin Shakeri (“The Magic Flute”) and Joachim Król (“The Most Desired Man”).
 
Hailing from UFA Fiction, a Fremantle company, “Where’s Wanda?” is created, written and executive produced by Royal Television Society nominee Oliver Lansley (“Flack”), alongside multiple award-winning executive producers Nataly Kudiabor (“Arthur’s Law”) and Sebastian Werninger (“The Physician”). The series is co-created and based on a story by Zoltan Spirandelli (“Vaya con Dios”). “Where’s Wanda?” is directed by critically acclaimed award-winning filmmakers Christian Ditter (“How To Be Single”), Tobi Baumann (“Faking Hitler”) and Facundo Scalerandi (“How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)”). Ditter also serves as an executive producer.
