It doesn’t exactly sound like something you’d expect to see on Disney+, on paper at least, but Deadline reports today that Disney+ has given the green light to a German series titled “Pauline,” which comes from the team behind Netflix’s How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast).
“Pauline” is said to be a coming-of-age story, so don’t expect too much horror here.
The site details, “Pauline follows an 18-year-old who accidentally becomes pregnant – from a one-night stand. With school stress, the climate crisis and the downfall of society weighing heavily on her mind, something she doesn’t need at all right now is catching feelings, especially not for her one-night stand Lukas, who, as it turns out, is the devil himself.”
Sebastian Colley wrote “Pauline,” with attached directors including Arabella Bartsch, Alma Buddecke and Facundo Scalerandi. The cast includes Sira-Anna Faal (Berlin Nobody) as Pauline, Ludger Bökelmann as Lukas,...

Big Mäck: Gangsters and Gold (Big Mäck – Gangster und Gold) is a documentary directed by Fabienne Hurst, Andreas Spinrath and Facundo Scalerandi.
A fascinating documentary about a man who is accused of a robbery and, after being proven innocent, gets out. Years later, he is accused of another similar crime. Could it be a coincidence?
Stellwag was a colorful and robust man, one of those people who do not go unnoticed, not even robbing a bank at gunpoint, Bonnie and Clyde style.
As he himself tells us in the documentary: they put the only “giant fat man” in a lineup and it’s impossible not to be singled out.
Stellwag is sentenced to 9 years after being denied a coherent alibi. He was convicted on account of his physical appearance (and his left ear). After being released from prison (9 whole years) our protagonist gets out of prison and, once again, receives...
