About Babylon Berlin

Babylon Berlin is an acclaimed German period drama that premiered in 2017, created by Tom Tykwer and collaborators and based on Volker Kutscher's novels. Set in the decadent, volatile Berlin of the Weimar Republic, it follows haunted police inspector Gereon Rath and ambitious working-class aspirant Charlotte Ritter through a city teeming with crime, political intrigue, hedonism, and the gathering shadow of fascism.

Lavish and atmospheric โ€” one of the most expensive series ever made in Europe โ€” it captures a society dancing on the edge of catastrophe, weaving noir mystery with sweeping historical sweep. It became a global breakout for German television.

Led by Volker Bruch and Liv Lisa Fries, Babylon Berlin is a dazzling, dread-laced epic.
