Pre-MIPTV Spotlight: ZDF Enterprises

CANNES: House Husbands, a family drama series about a group of stay-at-home fathers, is among the shows that ZDF Enterprises (ZDFE) is showcasing.

“With their fabulously flawed wives and partners, the House Husbands navigate their way through the craziness of modern parenting, relationships, friendships and careers… and try to get their kids to school on time,” says Tasja Abel, the VP of ZDFE.drama. Abel mentions that the show has already rated highly in Australia. “We believe that House Husbands is a universally appealing show that will find a home in worldwide territories,” Abel adds.

Last Secrets of the Third Reich investigates the inner workings of Hitler’s regime. “It’s a ‘classical’ high-quality history documentary in the best sense of the notion—and a constant interest in these kinds of programs shows us they are still in demand—co-existing in the market with fashionable ‘histotainment’ formats and factual series,” says Nikolas Huelbusch, the director of ZDFE.factual. Additionally, Mako Mermaids, a live-action kids’ series, is a spinoff of the hit H2O: Just Add Water. The show follows the adventures of a trio of mermaids living in the waters of Mako Island.
