Historic mystery series THE LAST LINE

Posted on

One of my most exciting and challenging projects in a long time: together with headwriter Lidia Fraga from Spain and Raoul Groothuizen from the Netherlands, I am writer on the historical murder mystery series THE LAST LINE. It follows a military doctor and a faithless nun who are hunting a serial killer within the British Army, as they flee through Galicia from Napoleon’s Grande Armée. Thrilling, dark, mysterious, laced with black humour, complex and emotional – the 6-episode series is set against real historical events of the “March of Death” through the snow-covered hills to Coruna. In record time, our writers’ room has created a pitch deck, a series bible, a teaser trailer, and a pilot script. We are currently in talks with potential international producers, broadcasters, distibutors, and streamers about a European co-production. The received feedback so far gives us hope that the series will enter development in 2026.

MAXTON HALL: premiere + global No.1

Posted on

In front of 2,600 audience members as well as the entire cast and crew, the second season of the YA romance series MAXTON HALL celebrated its premiere at Berlin’s Tempodrom on 17 October. A dazzling event – that’s how all series ought to be watched! The show shot straight to number one on Amazon Prime’s worldwide and US charts. As the translator of the entire season, I had to keep the secrets of the affairs surrounding an English public school under wraps for a year and a half; not an easy feat.

Translating medieval adventure UNTOLD

Posted on

How does one translate a medieval tale from Rhinean Germany into English? How archaic may it be, and how modern should it remain? It was an exciting quest I had the chance to take on for UNTOLD – DAY OF DARKNESS by Tobias Obenteuer. Supported by the Rhineland-Palatinate Media Fund, the writer/director intends to bring his mystical 14th-century adventure to life in Germany. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for him!

Selected for Words Across Europe

Posted on

For only the second time, the pan-continental screenwriting program Words Across Europe will take place in 2025 – an initiative by the Irish production company Wide Eye Films with support from the EU. And I’m one of the chosen 9 screenwriters from Europe who will be participating in this 9-week writers’ room! The twist: the screenwriting work won’t be conducted through group video calls, nor in person at some European location – but in a virtual 3D online space via VR technology. During the program, under the guidance of a team of experienced writers and international TV producers (from HBO, Warner Bros., ITV, ZDF, Banijay, and more), series ideas will be analysed and then developed, with 3 of them being selected. The creator of the chosen series will be paired with 2 additional writers to jointly develop a viable and innovative series concept. I’m looking forward to this unusual workspace – and especially to meeting the new colleagues! Let’s bring this divided continent closer together again with our communal stories!
