Our new crime dramas are iconic and archetypal—whether mundane in plot or extreme, whether in a small town or city. Crimescapes, Imagining Murder and Song of Odenthal are 90-minute crime collections in a variety of German cities with unique characters to lead the investigations.

Sci-fi particularly attracts younger segments via idealism, new challenges and hope. Artificial intelligence currently fuels the genre with a new dimension of social relevance. We bring three titles to MIPTV set in near-future scenarios. Exit is a thriller about a young businessman trapped in his own artificial innovation. Hal and Maleficius are futuristic crime dramas in AI-driven settings.” —Carlos Hertel, Director, International Sales

MeteoHeroes: The stars are six superpowered kids—three girls and three boys—who can control weather phenomena. They come together from six different continents and go wherever they are needed to fulfill their mission: to save the Earth. This is a stylish and beautifully designed cartoon show delivering adventure, comedy and real scientific information in thrilling storylines that discuss contemporary issues like fighting pollution and climate change in an accessible and appealing way. Each episode is inspired by a real event, ending with fun and interesting facts to round off an exciting and engaging mission.

Annie & Carola: Centers around Carola, a nerd with no social skills who builds a robot clone called Annie to be her best friend. However, a freak accident turns her robot pal into a wild, fun-loving and outgoing companion—Carola’s complete opposite—who drags Carola into all the situations she fears the most. With sparkling dialogue, crazy situations, hilarious visual gags and wild slapstick, this is a classic animated comedy that is above all great entertainment, but feelings are the special core of each episode.

Agent 203: A modern show made for Generation Alpha. Zoe, the lead character, is a strong personality, mainstream but confident and independent. As Agent 203, Zoe is tasked with defending the Earth from alien invasion, but she also has to face the more down-to-earth social issues for kids—from physical and emotional changes to managing friendship groups and figuring out who you are and where you fit in.

Hey Fuzzy Yellow: A 2D/hybrid show that combines educational content with pure and crazy entertainment, helping kids to develop independent thinking and self-expression through exploration and play. A fiercely fun romp through infinite possibilities, starring a group of extraordinary characters led by a fuzzy yellow ball and driven by a lot of music in various styles, this is a show that defies conventions and has its own set of rules. It’s also very, very funny.

Robot Trains 3: The adventure continues for Kay, Alf, Victor, Maxie, Gary and Genie in the thrilling third season, as Train X and his invention, the shadow energy, threaten the future of Railworld. His teammate Duke changes sides and comes to Railwatch’s rescue. Can Railwatch trust him? As Train X weakens Railwatch’s defenses, they may have no choice. Soon Genius Genie and Duke develop a counterforce to the shadow energy. A face-off against Train X—now SHADOW-X— draws closer. Maxie and Kay cannot neutralize the shadow energy alone. With Duke’s help, SHADOW-X can be defeated— but at what cost?
