    • ZDF fairytale pearls as German-language radio plays
      ZDF Studios and PROVOBIS are releasing selected productions from the popular series "ZDF-Märchenperlen" as German-language radio plays.

      The special thing about these radio plays is that the narrator is not a neutral voice reading from a fairy tale book, but a character who was already involved in the original TV production. For each fairy tale, a prominent actor from the TV adaptation has made himself available for the respective radio play. The radio plays are a combination of the narrator's voice and original audio material from the respective film adaptation.

      The following five magical fairy tale classics are currently being produced: "Snow White and the Magic of the Dwarves" with Armin Rohde as narrator, "Rübezahl's Treasure" with Sabin Tambrea, "Dwarf Nose" with narrator Maria Simon, "The Witch Princess", narrated by Jürgen Vogel and "The Tale of the Frog and the Golden Ball" with Götz Otto.

      The first radio play to be released on 22.12. is the fairy tale "Snow White and the Magic of the Dwarves", narrated by Armin Rohde. The radio plays can be streamed via all relevant digital audio platforms.

      Jens C. Susa, Managing Director of PROVOBIS: "It was the viewers who repeatedly asked us to please produce radio plays from the ZDF fairytale gems. Michael Stumpf and Jens Ripke-Desaules from ZDF and Peter Lang from ZDF Studios were immediately enthusiastic about our concept. I am delighted that all the actors immediately agreed to take part in the radio plays and that the first radio play is now being released."

    • WDR AND PROVOBIS FILM DEVELOP EUROPEAN SPACE SERIES
      The power of utopia, the dream of flying into space, of exploring alien planets - this has always occupied filmmakers. WDR and Provobis Film are now taking up this fascination - together they are developing a drama series about a space mission set in the near future.

      Multi-award-winning author Beate Langmaack and successful writer Florian Oeller are currently writing the scripts for the mini-series with six episodes of 45 minutes each. The title of the series is STARS. Producer & Executive Producer Jens Christian Susa is responsible for the joint development on behalf of Provobis Film, while Frank Tönsmann and Karin Laub are editorially responsible for WDR under the direction of Alexander Bickel - Head of the Fiction Program Division. The Astronaut:innen series is planned as a European co-production with worldwide exploitation.

      Content: Six European astronauts follow their greatest dream: the flight to the moon. The road to get there is rocky: First, they have to train hard in the most exciting workplace in Europe - the EAC Astronaut Center in Cologne. They give their all, but an overpowering opponent, love and betrayal jeopardize the mission - and with it the hope of saving our Earth.

      STARS is selected for this year's SERIENCAMP 2023 in the STORY EXCHANGE section in mid-June in Cologne https://www.seriencamp.tv/
