HBO Max Sets July 16 German Launch for Braunschlag 1986 With Weekly Rollout

The weekly release signals a shift from ORF’s two-part run, where part two drew fewer viewers.

Overview

  • HBO Max, which announced the plan on Wednesday, will premiere the five-episode continuation in Germany on July 16 with one new episode each week.
  • The platform will also add the complete original 2012 season of Braunschlag in the German-speaking market on the same date.
  • Festivalgoers in Cologne get an early look when the first two episodes screen at Seriencamp on June 10 with creator David Schalko in attendance.
  • Braunschlag 1986 continues the darkly comic Austrian cult series and reunites key characters like mayor Gerri Tschach and club owner Richard Pfeisinger, produced by Schalko’s company Superfilm.
  • ORF aired the project in March as a two-part event that opened strong before part two slipped, a pattern the staggered weekly streaming plan could help counter.
