Berlin, January 17, 2017 - Amazon has announced the launch date of

All six episodes of You Are Wanted will premiere exclusively on Amazon
Prime Video on March 17, 2017. The main actor, director and producer
Matthias Schweighöfer stars as Lukas Franke, a young hotel manager and
family man, who is suddenly torn out of his every-day life when an
anonymous hacker hijacks his personal data and starts ruining his life. The
cast of the thriller series also includes well-known actors Alexandra Maria
Lara, Karoline Herfurth and Tom Beck.
"Just as in our major movie productions, we gave our best to make You Are
Wanted gripping, exciting entertainment and suspense with high production
quality for a wide audience. We share the vision with Amazon and Warner
Bros. of providing big-screen for video-on-demand," says PANTALEON
Entertainment AG CEO and producer Dan Maag.
Star Matthias Schweighöfer adds: "I was thrilled to produce You Are Wanted
- a gripping German thriller series at international production quality.
Amazon gave us a one-time opportunity to produce the first German Amazon
Original with an A-list cast of German movie stars for a wide market. I
really hope my fans like it. It is the series I always wanted to shoot."
"You Are Wanted is a bit of a landmark in media history," says Dr.
Christoph Schneider, General Manager Amazon Video Germany. "It is the first
German series at a global video streaming service, and its quality is
outstanding. You Are Wanted is suspenseful, contemporary and offers a
stellar cast. We can hardly wait to present our first German-language
Amazon Original."
"Together with PANTALEON we have produced You Are Wanted, the first German
premium series for a video streaming service, and found for it the ideal
streaming partner with Amazon," says Willi Geike, President and General
Manager at Warner Bros. Entertainment GmbH. "For Warner Bros., this is
another great step forward in our strategy, of producing high-quality
movies and TV series with the most innovative and creative German talents."
You Are Wanted is produced by PANTALEON Films GmbH, Warner Bros.
Entertainment GmbH and Warner Bros. International Television Production
Deutschland GmbH. Executive Producers are Dan Maag, Matthias Schweighöfer,
Marco Beckmann and Willi Geike. Matthias Schweighöfer directed along with
