METROPOLIS: APPLE TV+ ANNOUNCES NEW DRAMA ADAPTATION FROM BAD WOLF

Apple TV+ have announced a new untitled drama based on Metropolis from Philip Kerr’s globally bestselling book series “Berlin Noir,” adapted by Golden Globe, BAFTA and Academy Award-winning writer and executive producer Peter Straughan, and hailing from Bad Wolf and Playtone.

The “Berlin Noir” book series features the iconic detective, Bernie Gunther, and this adaptation begins with “Metropolis” and his origin story in 1928. Bernie is a police officer, newly promoted to the intimidating and elite Berlin Murder Squad, and must investigate what seems to be a serial killer targeting victims on the fringes of society.

Bernie’s Berlin is a city of unprecedented freedom and dizzying turbulence, the Nazis just a distant nightmare waiting in the wings. With the political and social world shifting to a new norm, we see Bernie fighting for truth, whatever the cost.

Jane Tranter, Dan McCulloch and Ryan Rasmussen executive produce for Bad Wolf, alongside Peter Straughan.

More details will be announced in due course.
