PANTAFLIX AG: YOU ARE WANTED celebrates first German series' world premiere
in Hollywood
Munich, May 3, 2018 - PANTALEON Films, a 100% subsidiary of PANTAFLIX AG,
and Amazon set yet another benchmark with the Prime Original series YOU ARE
WANTED: the first German-language video streaming series is now also the
first German series to celebrate its world premiere in the US. On May 7,
Amazon's streaming service Prime Video will raise the curtain on the
successful thriller-series' second season at the ArcLight in Hollywood. Fans
and international industry professionals will see the new season's first
episode, with lead actors Matthias Schweighöfer, Alexandra Maria Lara,
Jessica Schwarz, and Michael Landes in attendance. The complete season will
be available worldwide on May 18, 2018. "With our first season, we have
written German film history and enjoyed phenomenal international success.
Now we aim for an even bigger, global target audience. To that effect, a
world premiere in Los Angeles is the ideal kick-off," says Dan Maag,
Producer of YOU ARE WANTED.
YOU ARE WANTED is a sensational success with audiences in Germany and around
the world: it is indeed the most successful series ever on Amazon Prime in
Germany and Austria. On its starting weekend, the series also made the top
five streamed series in over 70 countries. Among its non-german speaking
audiences, the series has an especially strong fan community in the United
States: one in five viewers (22%) of the first season are from North
America. "Celebrating our series' world premiere in the US is a great honor,
and I'm very excited about it," says director and leading actor Matthias
Schweighöfer.
About the new episodes: With "Burning Man", the data-collecting monster
program, Lukas Franke (Matthias Schweighöfer) seemed finally back in control
of his life. But now the nightmare is back on. His memory: deleted. "Burning
Man": gone. His family: in danger. Lukas is once more on the run. His only
chance: to find the world's most powerful cyberweapon and take fate into his
own hands again.
The second season of YOU ARE WANTED is a Prime Original, produced by
Pantaleon Films GmbH (a 100% subsidiary of PANTAFLIX AG), Warner Bros.
Entertainment GmbH, and Warner Bros. International Television Production
Deutschland GmbH. Producers of the series are Dan Maag, Matthias
Schweighöfer, Marco Beckmann, and Willi Geike. Directors: Matthias
Schweighöfer, and Bernhard Jasper. The screenplays were written by Markus
Hoffmann, Uwe Kossmann, and Arndt Stüwe. YOU ARE WANTED is funded by German
Motion Picture Fund.
