MadeFor Film Readies Teacher on Withdrawal for ZDFneo

Germany’s MadeFor Film, an Endemol Shine Group company, has started production on Teacher on Withdrawal, a new short-form comedy series for ZDFneo.

Directed by Sinnan Akkus and written by Tobias Oelle, Teacher on Withdrawal centers on a young teacher who is attempting to teach from a digital classroom. Christine Eixenberger (Marie Catches Fire) stars in the lead role. In addition to airing on the younger-skewing ZDF channel, the series will be available in the ZDF media library.

Nanni Erben, joint CEO at MadeFor Film, said: “The sentiment of this web series captures the amusing moments of the digital classroom which will resonate with ZDFneo’s audiences. With additional series in production, we are optimistic about delivering a slate of drama, and we are thrilled to be up and running with new scripted productions in Germany.”
