ZDF Studios has been rolling out a string of high-impact, ambitious dramas as of late, which it is highlighting in the International Drama Screenings Festival.

This includes the six-part Boundless—Magellan’s and Elcano’s Journey to the Edge of the Earth. “The producers secured top-class talent on- and off-screen to do this epic story justice,” says Susanne Frank, Director Drama.

“The high production value throughout makes this a premium ‘must-watch’ series that will captivate audiences around the world,” she adds.

Frank also highlights the second season of the horror anthology Stories to Stay Awake, the reboot of the iconic Spanish series from the 1960s.

Crime and suspense are also on the ZDF Studios lineup, with offerings such as White Night, a 12-part drama set in two different time periods. “A family struggling to cope with an imbalancfe of power wielded by a person who is no longer alive, interwoven with a murder mystery, makes for a compelling series,” says Mirela Nastase, Director Drama.

Another key highlight is the sci-tinged YA drama Feelings. “The mystery and coming-of-age series is set in a fictional village in them idle of a mystical forest that shakes the boundaries of reality and tells stories about friendship, love, self-doubt and the great magic of feelings,” says Sebastian Krekeler, Director Drama.
