Distributed internationally by ZDF Studios, the six-part drama The Zweiflers tells the story of the titular Jewish family, whose patriarch, Holocaust survivor Symcha, prepares to sell his delicatessen. When he is confronted by his past as a result, his family must deal with long-suppressed conflicts while contending with their own personal lives.
The series is created, written and produced by showrunner David Hadda, who describes it as not quite fully autobiographical but “emotionally autobiographical,” with the characters and their personalities reminiscent of people he grew up around in Frankfurt, Germany.
Hadda sits down with TV Drama Weekly to delve into the origin of the series, its central themes, its success thus far and the potential for continuing the Zweiflers’ story.
