In addition to Caplan and\u00a0Wittgenstein, the cast includes\u00a0Rainer Bock (<em>Inglourious Basterds<\/em>), Rick Okon (<em>Tatort<\/em>), Vicky Krieps (<em>Colonia Dignidad<\/em>), Jonathan Zacca\u03ca (<em>Robin Hood<\/em>), Leonard Scheicher (<em>Finsterworld<\/em>), Robert Stadlober (<em>Summer Storm<\/em>), Franz Dinda (<em>The Cloud<\/em>) and Stefan Konarske (<em>The Young Karl Marx<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Filming is set to take 104 days in La Rochelle (France), Prague, Malta and Munich, beginning at the end of August for a fall 2018 premiere on Sky in Germany, Austria, Italy, the U.K. and Ireland. The show is being directed by Andreas Prochaska. Sonar Entertainment\u00a0is handling international distribution. The head writers on <em>Das Boot<\/em> are\u00a0Tony Saint and Johannes W. Betz, and the executive producers are Moritz Polter and Oliver Vogel for Bavaria; Marcus Ammon and Frank Jastfelder for Sky; and Jenna Santoianni for Sonar.<\/p>\n<p>Polter and Vogel commented, \u201cFew TV projects are as highly anticipated as the sequel to <em>Das Boot<\/em>\u2014therefore the production preparations have been extremely intense and thorough, while also being very rewarding given the quality of creative we were able to put together. Now we\u2019re excited to open the next chapter on board U-612 and in La Rochelle and in locations across Europe with our internationally renowned actors and actresses, high-caliber junior cast and acclaimed director Andreas Prochaska.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carsten Schmidt, CEO of Sky Deutschland, added, \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic that we will start filming only a year after we announced this project. <em>Das Boot<\/em> perfectly suits our range of top-class Sky original\u00a0productions. <em>Babylon Berlin<\/em>, <em>8 Tage<\/em>, <em>Der Pass<\/em>, <em>Der Grenzg\u00e4nger<\/em> and <em>Das Boot<\/em>\u2014series fans can only find these on Sky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a time when the word \u2018classic\u2019 has become overused and trivialized, <em>Das Boot<\/em> is one of those rare, true originals that without question fits the description,\u201d said Jenna Santoianni, executive VP of television series at Sonar Entertainment. \u201cThe film\u2014and the book it is based on\u2014have both earned enormous acclaim. This new production, supported by tremendous writing, an acclaimed international cast and crew, stunning locations and a budget more commonly associated with feature films, will be a fitting sequel to the iconic work that it follows.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cast for the upcoming event series Das Boot from Bavaria Fernsehproduktion, Sky Deutschland and Sonar Entertainment includes Masters of Sex&#8217;s Lizzy Caplan and The Crown&#8217;s August Wittgenstein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1692,1031,1369,1033,810],"class_list":["post-7940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-bavaria-fernsehproduktion","tag-das-boot","tag-lizzy-caplan","tag-sky-deutschland","tag-sonar-entertainment","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cast Announced for Das Boot - 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\/cast-announced-for-das-boot\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cast Announced for Das Boot - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The cast for the upcoming event series Das Boot from Bavaria Fernsehproduktion, Sky Deutschland and Sonar Entertainment includes Masters of Sex&#039;s Lizzy Caplan and The Crown&#039;s August Wittgenstein.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cast-announced-for-das-boot\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-06-28T14:37:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-06-28T18:46:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\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\/cast-announced-for-das-boot\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cast-announced-for-das-boot\/\",\"name\":\"Cast Announced for Das Boot - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-06-28T14:37:46+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-06-28T18:46:31+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cast-announced-for-das-boot\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cast-announced-for-das-boot\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cast-announced-for-das-boot\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Cast Announced for Das Boot\"}]},{\"@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\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
