In six half hour episodes Ger­man Angst deals with the fears of a nation. These fears are amongst oth­ers: fear of vio­lence, fear of a sur­veil­lance soci­ety or the fear of los­ing social status.

On the 31st of Jan­u­ary our new col­umn The Super Week­end will start in the con­tainer for­mat Aben­teuer Leben on kabeleins.

Two fam­i­lies will com­petete against each other to cre­ate the best week­end for the two fam­i­lies. Both of them have a lim­ited bud­get but unlim­ited fan­tasy to spend two days to remember…

In 2012 our new fac­tual show Ger­man Angst will go on air on ZDF­neo. The show was suc­cess­fully tested in the TVLab week in August 2011.

Ger­man Angst cov­ers prej­u­dices and cliches that appear while deal­ing with minori­ties and mar­ginal groups. The show will be hosted by Micky Beisenherz.

Our new fac­tual show Ger­man Angst reached the sec­ond place in ZDFneo’s Euro­pean TVLab week. Inter­net users could vote for the ten shows last week.

Our sec­ond show Love on Speed, a can­did cam speed dat­ing show, achieved the 7th place. The pilots were also on air in Hol­land, Bel­gium and Slovenia.

Thanks to every­one involved in the projects and thanks to the users who voted for our shows.

At the end of August ZDF­neo broad­casts both our pilots Ger­man Angst and Love on Speed on the occa­sion of the inter­na­tional TVLab 2011 of the EBU.

Ger­man Angst uncov­ers clichés, fears and prej­u­dices of Ger­mans against minori­ties and dis­ad­van­taged groups.

In Love on Speed a sin­gle woman expe­ri­ences a speed-dating at her work­ing place — unknow­ingly. Can­did cam­eras film the single’s reac­tion and the quest for her true love.

The retirees strike back!

On August 9th, 2011 our eight-episode com­edy show broke the 1 Mio view­ers line. The tar­get mar­ket share reached strong 13,6%. The week before “Old Ass Bas­tards” had already reached an opti­mum value of 15% within the tar­get group.

Our new show “Cross­word is com­ing to town” was picked for the MIP For­mats Days Fresh Tal­ent Pitch in Cannes. We will present our newly devel­oped fam­ily enter­tain­ment game show that com­bines a famous game phe­nom­e­non with a whole new TV game mechanism.

This is our sec­ond par­tic­i­pa­tion in this pitch in a row. Last year we pre­sented our can­did cam show Cin­ema Moments there.

MIPworld.com has more infor­ma­tion on the pitch.

This is the sec­ond time in a row that SEO is nom­i­nated for the pres­ti­gious Ger­man Grimme Award.
