Berlin, February 10, 2017 - Produced by publicly-traded PANTALEON Entertainment AG (XETRA: PAL, ISIN: DE000A12UPJ7) along with Warner Bros. for Amazon Prime Video, thriller series "You Are Wanted" will release in over 200 countries, becoming the first German TV series to become available globally. Amazon will launch its first German-language Amazon Original for Prime members around the world on March 17, 2017. Starring and directed by German top star Matthias Schweighöfer, "You Are Wanted" will not just be available in Germany and Austria, but in over 200 territories on six continents. It is the widest release ever for a German TV series. All six episodes will be available in English, French, Italian and Spanish dubbed versions. Amazon is also offering Portugese, Hindi and Japanese subtitles.
Says PANTALEON CEO Dan Maag: "Our strategic aim has always been to produce for a global audience from Europe. 'You Are Wanted' marks another milestone in our international growth strategy. We are currently developing various formats that will follow 'You Are Wanted'. With our creative talent pool and in our position, it would be very short-sighted to concentrate exclusively on the German market. We aim to produce commercially viable content that has worldwide potential. "
"With 'You Are Wanted', we wanted to create a German series that appeals to audiences all over the world," says producer-director-star Matthias Schweighöfer. "We will be making TV history with Amazon, launching the first German series worldwide ever. We're looking forward to bringing this exciting story to a global audience with our partners at Warner Bros."
