WHERE'S WANDA? - CATCHING UP WITH THE SERIES STARS!

Another great series is coming to Apple TV+ and this one hails from Germany!

“Where’s Wanda?” tells the story of Dedo and Carlotta Klatt (Stein and Makatsch), who are desperate to locate their missing 17-year-old daughter Wanda (Drinda), who disappeared months ago without a trace. When the police fail to find her, the family takes matters into their own hands, obtaining surveillance devices with the help of their tech-savvy son Ole (Simon).

Disguising themselves as employees of an electrical company, they bug their neighborhood and then half their suburb, finding out that behind closed doors, none of their neighbors are who they pretend to be.

While the series is quirky and deals with a serious subject matter, it manages to infuse humour and absurd moments that will have you laughing out loud. It’s gripping, compelling and absurdity makes it a must watch when it starts streaming in October.

I had the opportunity to chat with series leads, Heike Makatsch, Axel Stein and multiple award-winning actress Lea Drinda about the appeal and relatability to this show.

Apple TV+’s first German original will premiere globally with the first two episodes on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, followed by one episode weekly through November 13.
