Disney+ Sets German Slate: 'City of Blood' on Sept. 16, 'Vienna Game' in November

The platform leans into German-language originals with its first local reality series and two book adaptations set for 2027.

Overview

  • Disney+, which unveiled the lineup Thursday at its Berlin Content Showcase, scheduled three German originals for late 2026.
  • 'City of Blood,' dated for September 16th, adapts the Berlin Noir graphic novels into a heat-stricken Berlin thriller led by Lea Drinda and Soma Pysall under showrunner Philipp Kadelbach.
  • 'Yacht Deals Monaco' lands in August as Disney+'s first German-commissioned reality series, following yacht brokers who recruit a new team in the principality.
  • 'Vienna Game' arrives in November as a six-part drama about the 1814 Congress of Vienna from Satel Film, written by Stefan Brunner and directed by Hannu Salonen.
  • For 2027, Disney+ greenlit 'Monster' with public broadcaster ZDF and 'Westwell' from Warner Bros ITVP, signaling a shift that pairs prestige genres with mainstream book adaptations after years of leaning on global imports.
