Christian Ditter (Girlboss, Love, Rosie and How to be Single) giving his showrunner debut
Berlin - July 22nd, 2020 -- What if students secretly experiment with biohacking technologies that could change humanity? Biohackers tells a highly-gripping story about friendship, love and revenge at a German University that is overshadowed by a revolutionary biohacking-technology and its ethical implications. It centers around the rivalry of two women: Mia, played by Swiss shooting star Luna Wedler ( Das sch nste M dchen der Welt , Dem Horizont so nah ), is a medicine student in her first term who boldly pursues a secret plan. Her adversary is Prof. Tanja Lorenz, a bio-scientist and famous lecturer played by Jessica Schwarz ( Das perfekte Geheimnis , Narziss und Goldmund ).
Biohackers, a six-part Netflix Original Series by showrunner and director Christian Ditter ( How to be Single , Love Rosie , Girlboss ) debuts worldwide on Netflix on August 20th. Joining the cast in addition to Luna Wedler and Jessica Schwarz are Caro Cult, Adrian Julius Tillmann, Thomas Prenn, Sebastian Doppelbauer, Jing Xiang and Benno F rmann. With its innovative genre mix, the show is a perfect storm of gripping suspense and fun.
Christian Ditter, director and showrunner: What happens when normal people, like you and I, are confronted with things that are bigger than themselves? How far do you go to satisfy your desire for fame or even revenge? Where do we draw moral and ethical boundaries? What is synthetic biology, biohacking or bodyhacking anyway? And what happens when Jessica Schwarz and Luna Wedler compete as star professor and freshman? All these questions will finally be answered with the worldwide launch of Biohackers on Netflix starting August 20."
Jakob Claussen of Claussen Putz Filmproduktion adds: Biohackers is a modern and relevant show that has its finger on the pulse of time. We are beyond proud of our debut show!
Biohackers was first set to launch by the end April 2020. Although the show does not deal with a pandemic, Netflix and the creators took the spread of the corona virus into consideration and decided to not debut the show just then. The beginning of the show features a scene that might have been unsettling for viewers at that point in time.
ber Biohackers
College freshman Mia enrols in Freiburg University's prestigious medical school. Her interest in revolutionary biohacking-technology is not only limited to scientific interest: Her goal is to gain the trust of star lecturer Prof. Tanja Lorenz. Both women are connected by a dark secret. To shed light on the mysterious death of her brother, Mia enters a dangerous world of illegal genetic experiences. When she meets genius biologist Jasper and his brooding roommate Niklas, she is forced to decide between her principles and her feelings, between avenging her family and protecting her new friends.
