We are thrilled to bring this exceptional project to international audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Set in 13th-century Central Europe, the mini-series follows the royal, who renounced marriage and power to find a convent and dedicated her life to helping the poor and sick. She was canonized just before the Velvet Revolution in 1989. The series explores themes of gender equality, social justice and moral courage.<\/p>\n<p><em>Agnes<\/em> is produced by Karla Stoj\u00e1kov\u00e1 and Pavel Ber\u010d\u00edk (Film Kolektiv\/Axman Production) and co-developed and co-written by German director Dagmar Kn\u00f6pfel. It is directed by Czech director Lenka Wimmerov\u00e1, with a script by Czech writer Tereza Brde\u010dkov\u00e1.<\/p>\n<p>Confirmed broadcasters on board the series include \u010cesk\u00e1 televize, Slovensk\u00e1 telev\u00edzia and NDR\/ARTE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith <em>Agnes<\/em>, we wanted to tell a story that has long been missing from our screens\u2014a story of courage, compassion and conviction from a female perspective,\u201d said Stoj\u00e1kov\u00e1. \u201cWhile many historical dramas focus on male heroes, Agnes is different. The story of a unique female heroine protagonist based on the real historical character, it offers a poetic yet unflinching look at the Middle Ages through the eyes of a woman who dared to defy the roles imposed on her. Agnes of Bohemia\u2019s journey\u2014from royal pawn to visionary leader\u2014is a powerful reminder of the strength it takes to live a meaningful, socially engaged life. Her story is not only historically significant, but urgently relevant today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZDF Studios has taken on the international distribution rights to the historical drama Agnes, telling the story of Princess Agnes of Bohemia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":24080,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[11778,11779,8159,4932],"class_list":["post-24079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-agnes","tag-karla-stojakova","tag-mirela-nastase","tag-zdf-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ZDF Studios Distributing Historical Drama Agnes - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-distributing-historical-drama-agnes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ZDF Studios Distributing Historical Drama Agnes - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ZDF Studios has taken on the international distribution rights to the historical drama Agnes, telling the story of Princess Agnes of Bohemia.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-distributing-historical-drama-agnes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-01-05T15:51:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-01-05T16:56:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/ZDFStudios-Agnes-0126.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-distributing-historical-drama-agnes\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-distributing-historical-drama-agnes\/\",\"name\":\"ZDF Studios Distributing Historical Drama Agnes - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-01-05T15:51:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-01-05T16:56:53+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-distributing-historical-drama-agnes\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-distributing-historical-drama-agnes\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/zdf-studios-distributing-historical-drama-agnes\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"ZDF Studios Distributing Historical Drama Agnes\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
