Bavaria Fernsehproduktion Rebrands as Bavaria Fiction

Bavaria Fernsehproduktion has renamed itself Bavaria Fiction, highlighting its position as a producer of fictional content.

Bavaria Fiction is a subsidiary of Bavaria Film and ZDF Enterprises. The company’s commissions include Storm of Love (ARD), The Rosenheim Cops (ZDF), SOKO Stuttgart (ZDF), Rentnercops (ARD), Inga Lindström (ZDF) and Dr. Klein (ZDF)—in Germany alone. Bavaria Fiction is increasingly active in event productions such as multi-parters Brecht (ARD) and Bella Germania (ZDF) and international co-productions such as Das Boot (Sky Deutschland/Sonar Entertainment) and Germanized (Deutsche Telekom).

“Ten years ago we took over the TV production business of Bavaria Film,” said Jan S. Kaiser, the managing director of Bavaria Fiction. “Thanks to our business partners and our strong creative team, we have grown steadily, both in the area of commissioned productions as well as in high-end event programming and international co-productions. At the same time, the content business has continued to change rapidly with the rise of new market participants, prompting us to create new internal structures to take advantage of the opportunities on top of our core business. This process has been carried out over the last two years, resulting in a clear message today of the rebranding of Bavaria Fiction. Under the leadership of Oliver Vogel in his newly created position as chief creative officer, our team of in-house and freelance executive producers develop and produce fictional content for every genre, in every format and for every client.”
