Renewed: Das Boot, Babylon Berlin.

Sky Deutschland has announced a slate of 60 German and international series to air across 2022, some of which screen in Australia on SBS.

These include Season 3 of Das Boot, plus previously announced titles including The Ibiza Affair, The Wasp season 2 of Der Pass, Paradiso and Souls.

Season 4 of Babylon Berlin (already completed filming) is also confirmed.

There also also three new original series:

Autobahn, a 10-part series, will follow a pair of police officer brothers as they keep their cool while chasing suspects at high speed. Shot across Bavaria, the series is from producer Action Concept in association with Sky Studios.

Set in the year 2036, Tender Hearts turns on Mila who orders a humanoid love robot from an advanced tech firm. The eight part series is produced by Odeon Film in association with Sky Studios,

Chameleon, an eight part series, is set in the murky and mysterious world of corporate lobbying and follows Max ‘The Chameleon,’ a calculated and smooth operator who begins to question himself after he meets Vallery, a new, mysterious lobbyist, who both attracts and repels him at the same time.

Elke Walthelm, program director at Sky Deutschland, said: “Our aim is to offer top-class in-house productions in an attractive mix across a variety of genres for a broader target group. That is why we are massively increasing our investment in self-produced series. We want to offer our viewers the best, most exciting programmes. In addition to the productions presented today, we have many other great things in the pipeline. Our plans for Sky Originals are ambitious, and overall we are doubling our group-wide investment in original content by 2024. Next year we will have 60 Sky Originals in our plan, including our own series from the UK and Italy.”

SBS is yet to confirm acquisitions with its 2022 Upfronts yet to be announced.
