Munich/Berlin, December 5, 2022 - In and around Munich as well as in Leipzig, filming has begun on the new Netflix series HELLO (AT). Peri Baumeister, Yuna Bennett and Florian David Fitz have the lead roles, and Fitz also co-wrote the screenplays.

This new four-part series, alongside the main cast, will star top actors like Nilam Farooq and Katharina Sch ttler, Katharina Thalbach, Uwe Preuss, Meret Becker as well as Indian movie, TV, and theater star Sheeba Chaddha. The screenplays for the Netflix production, realized by Bon Voyage Films, are written by Florian David Fitz ( Oskars Kleid and 100 Things ), as well as Nadine Gottmann (incl. Wir sind die Flut ) and Kim Zimmermann (incl. Skylines and The Perfumier ).Jan Prahl (incl. Legal Affairs , King of Ravens ) is behind the camera. Sebastian Hilger (incl. Wir sind die Flut ) directs episodes one and four, while Philipp Leinemann (incl. The King's Surrender , Willkommen bei den Honeckers , Blame Game ) directs the middle two episodes.

Hello (AT) is a mystery thriller/drama with science-fiction elements:

Paula doesn't come home. Sven and his daughter Charlie wait for her at the gate, but her plane has vanished. While Sven tries to protect his daughter from the terrible events, he clutches at every straw he is offered. Suddenly, it seems like he is onto something; Paula left him a clue, a trail of breadcrumbs for Sven to follow. But the further down the trail he goes, the more his life falls apart, the bigger the mystery grows and the greater the threat for him, Charlie and even the entire world. Paula was no average person. She was on the ISS. And there, in the darkness of space, she discovered something. Or didn't she?

Florian David Fitz: When I first read the original screenplay a few years ago, I thought it was such a unique, cross-genre idea that I'd never seen before. But the effort seemed huge, and it didn't seem quite right for German cinema. We're so lucky that Netflix is looking for exactly this kind of material, with twists and turns, where you're never sure where it's going next. It's emotional, dark, cynical, loving, supernatural and yet fully grounded in our current world events.

Steffi Ackermann, Director Series DACH at Netflix: We're really pleased about our first project with Florian David Fitz and everyone involved. It's a really special collaboration for a really special story about an ordinary man who is dragged into a thoroughly abnormal situation.

The scenes at the space station are filmed in the Hyperbowl, Penzing and at the Bavaria Studios in Munich, using extravagant ISS sets created by art director Eva Maria Stiebler.

Producer Christian Springer, Bon Voyage Films: A father and his daughter make an unbelievable discovery while trying to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of his wife and her mother. It's a real challenge to tell this exciting and moving story in all its detail. We were able to get a phenomenal team, both in front of and behind the camera, and together they achieve unbelievable things.
