Apple TV+ renews ‘Berlin ER’ for a second season

Apple TV+, in co-production with ZDF, has announced an eight-episode season two renewal for the German-language series “Berlin ER” (“KRANK Berlin”). 

The German Television Award Best Drama winner is created by former emergency room physician turned screenwriter Samuel Jefferson, and stars Haley Louise Jones (“Dear Child,” “Paradise”) and Slavko Popadić (“Crooks”).

About “Berlin ER”

Here’s how the series is described: Managing a chaotic emergency room in the toughest and most overcrowded hospital in Berlin is no small task for the young Dr. Parker (Jones), who is seeking a fresh start in the big city after her private life implodes in Munich. When she tries to implement necessary reforms, Dr. Parker is confronted with resistance from the underpaid, ill-equipped and chronically fatigued hospital staff who only survive with an indispensable dose of black humor. But in the face of an increasingly merciless health care system, the battered team must put aside their differences and pull together to save lives.

“Berlin ER” stars Jones and Popadić alongside an ensemble cast that includes Şafak Şengül (“Rabiye Kurnaz vs. George W. Bush”), Samirah Breuer (“The Gryphon”), Bernhard Schütz (“Barbarians”), Peter Lohmeyer (“I Don’t Work Here”) and Benjamin Radjaipour (“No Hard Feelings”).

The freshman season of “Berlin ER” landed six German Television Award nominations, including Best Drama Series; Best Actress Haley Louise Jones; Best Actor Slavko Popadić; Best Director Alex Schaad and Fabian Möhrke; Best Cinematography Tim Kuhn and Jieun Yi; and Best Editing Gesa Jäger, Julia Kovalenko, Adrienne Hudson and Bobby Good. “Berlin ER” landed wins for Best Drama Series and Best Cinematography.

Hailing from Violet Pictures and Real Film Berlin, “Berlin ER” is produced for Apple TV+ and ZDFneo, with Violet Pictures’ Alexis von Wittgenstein (“Oktoberfest: Beer & Blood”) and Real Film’s Emmy Award-nominated Henning Kamm (“Unorthodox”) serving as executive producers.
