Like the original film, the series is based on the best seller of the same name by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim. While the original film exclusively followed the claustrophobic world inside a WWII German U-boat, the miniseries expands to focus not just on the German perspective but also on the experiences of the French Resistance and Allied forces.<\/p>\n<p>The drama is being adapted by Tony Saint and Johannes W. Betz. Tony Saint, who wrote the BBC drama <em>Margaret Thatcher: The Long Walk to Finchley<\/em> and Sky\u2019s <em>Strike Back<\/em>, is co-writing the script with German screenwriter Johannes W. Betz, whose credits include the award-winning period dramas <em>The Tunnel<\/em> and <em>Die Spiegel-Aff\u00e4re<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Bavaria Fernsehproduktion and Sky Deutschland on this highly prestigious new production,\u201d said\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">David Ellender, the president of global distribution and co-productions at Sonar Entertainment<\/span>. \u201cThis project reflects Sonar\u2019s ongoing strategic commitment to pursue fully integrated creative and commercial collaborations with top-tier global partners to develop and distribute high-end content. <em>Das Boot<\/em> is a property with broad-based appeal to networks and broadcasters worldwide and will play exceptionally well to diverse audiences throughout the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jan Kaiser, Bavaria Fernsehproduktion\u2019s managing director, said: \u201cI am very proud that Bavaria Fernsehproduktion has been able to put together such strong partners in Sky Deutschland and Sonar for this amazing project. With Jenna Santoianni, Oliver Vogel and Moritz Polter we have a fantastic team of executive producers who follow the same vision for this international multilayered drama. With<em> Das Boot<\/em> we are launching the first in a number of international projects that we are developing with ambitious and seasoned international partners alongside our German network partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Ammon, the senior VP of fiction and entertainment channels at Sky Deutschland, added: \u201cWe are very excited to have Sonar Entertainment on board. In the five Sky territories Germany, Austria, U.K., Ireland and Italy, Sky is holding the exclusive TV rights. For the distribution in all other territories with Sonar Entertainment we have found the perfect partner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES: Sonar Entertainment has teamed up with Germany&#8217;s Bavaria Fernsehproduktion and Sky Deutschland to co-produce and distribute the eight-episode series Das Boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1031,810],"class_list":["post-6713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-das-boot","tag-sonar-entertainment","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
