Das Prime-Video-Format „Perfekt verpasst“ ist die erste fiktionale Serie von und mit Anke Engelke und Bastian Pastewka. Weltpremiere feiert sie auf dem Filmfest München. Jetzt gibt es den Prime-Video-Starttermin und den offiziellen Teaser.
„Perfekt verpasst“, die erste fiktionale Serie von und mit Anke Engelke und Bastian Pastewka, gibt es Prime Video ab dem 15. August in über 240 Ländern und Territorien weltweit. Einen ersten Einblick in die achtteilige Deutsche Original-Serie gibt jetzt der offizielle Teaser. „Perfekt verpasst“ feiert am 30. Juni Weltpremiere auf dem 41. Filmfest München.
Zur Handlung: Maria (Anke Engelke) und Ralf (Bastian Pastewka) stecken fest. Im Alltag, im Job und in der Liebe. Im Prinzip wären die beiden Singles ziemlich perfekt füreinander, wäre da nicht ein kleines Problem: Obwohl sie in der gleichen Kleinstadt wohnen, sind sie sich noch nie begegnet.

It doesn’t exactly sound like something you’d expect to see on Disney+, on paper at least, but Deadline reports today that Disney+ has given the green light to a German series titled “Pauline,” which comes from the team behind Netflix’s How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast).
“Pauline” is said to be a coming-of-age story, so don’t expect too much horror here.
The site details, “Pauline follows an 18-year-old who accidentally becomes pregnant – from a one-night stand. With school stress, the climate crisis and the downfall of society weighing heavily on her mind, something she doesn’t need at all right now is catching feelings, especially not for her one-night stand Lukas, who, as it turns out, is the devil himself.”
Sebastian Colley wrote “Pauline,” with attached directors including Arabella Bartsch, Alma Buddecke and Facundo Scalerandi. The cast includes Sira-Anna Faal (Berlin Nobody) as Pauline, Ludger Bökelmann as Lukas,...

Cannes — Netflix’s “How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)” kicks off with a police special unit, automatic rifles trained, moving in silently for asking. The target, a buff teen drug dealer, at work in his basement lab lair. He bolts on his scooter, doesn’t get 10 yards before he’s arrested.
So this is how the protagonist ends up? No, it’s an illustration of what happens to you if you don’t secure your data base correctly and insinuate you’re dealing as a flirting technique, lectures a voice over, revealed as the confident, smiling 20-something Moritz Zimmermann.
Inspired by true facts, and sometimes whiplash-edited, “Htsdof” turns on how Moritz, when a high-school student, 17 – living in a non-descript German village with 28,000 inhabitants, whose four most Googled words are “Google,” “Deutsch,” “German” and “sex” – sets up Europe’s biggest online drug business from out of his bedroom, with his best friend,...
