ZDF Studios\u2019 Ku\u2019damm 77<\/em>, the latest installment of the Ku\u2019damm<\/em> franchise created and written by showrunner Annette Hess (The Weissensee Saga<\/em>, The German House<\/em>), is to make its world premiere at MIPCOM on October 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ku\u2019damm<\/em> collection has truly resonated around the world,\u201d said Lucy Smith, director of MIPCOM Cannes and MIPJunior. \u201cIts authentic, universal and compelling storytelling has struck a chord with audiences, and we are thrilled that the international television community will get the chance to catch the first look in Cannes of its much-anticipated \u201970s era.”<\/p>\n

Ku\u2019damm 77<\/em> follows the Ku\u2019damm 56<\/em>, Ku\u2019damm 59<\/em> and Ku\u2019damm 63<\/em> series, which have found ratings success in Germany and in over 30 countries worldwide. Sonja Gerhardt was nominated for an International Emmy Award for her role in Ku\u2019damm 56<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The historical drama, produced by UFA Fiction and directed by Maurice H\u00fcbner (Kitz<\/em>, Family Braun<\/em>), depicts a family through different decades at the Galant dance school on Kurf\u00fcrstendamm.<\/p>\n

The latest three-part installment picks up in the divided Berlin of the 1970s. In 1977, the apartment of the dance school accommodates three generations: sisters Monika and Helga, their almost-adult daughters Dorli and Friederike and their mother and grandmother Caterina. Only Eva, the third sister, is still \u201cabroad,\u201d as her stay in prison is described.<\/p>\n

The returning ensemble cast includes Gerhardt, Maria Ehrich, Carlotta B\u00e4hre, Marie Louise Albertine Becker, Claudia Michelsen and Emilia Sch\u00fcle. They are joined by new members Carlotta B\u00e4hre, Marie Louise Albertine Becker, Massiamy Diaby, Florian Stetter and Aziz Dyab, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe selection of Ku\u2019damm 77<\/em> for a World Premiere Screening in Cannes proves the importance of German drama series in this top-class international arena,\u201d said Dr. Markus Sch\u00e4fer, president and CEO of ZDF Studios. \u201cZDF Studios is proud of this appealing addition to its drama catalog, and we are confident that this program will enjoy the same success with worldwide audiences as previous Ku\u2019damm<\/em> editions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ku\u2019damm 77<\/em> will debut on October 14 at 6 p.m. in the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the showrunner, director, producer and members of the cast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
