The series PUSH was produced on behalf of ZDFneo by Bantry Bay Productions in cooperation with NPO, SVT, VRT, DR, NRK, YLE and RUV and is a project of “New 8”, the largest European alliance for the co-production of series to date.
Directors: Katja Benrath, Mia Meyer
Creator & Headwriter: Luisa Hardenberg
Production: Jochen Cremer, Marie-Therese Dalke, Bantry Bay Productions GmbH
Starring: Anna Schudt, Mariam Hage, Lydia Amasko, Idil Üner, Katja Hutko, Katia Fellin, André Kaczmarczyk a.m.m.
“The midwife series “PUSH” shows women giving birth and births in a true-to-life way, hurray!
It’s about a central part of the female experience in a way that is rarely told.
Series creator and screenwriter Luisa Hardenberg, who grew up as the daughter of two gynecologists
was advised by a real midwife, who later also assisted the actresses.
When Hardenberg presented her series idea for the first time, she looked into predominantly male, predominantly perplexed faces.
Can you really talk about it for several episodes?
You can. You could even add a second season. “Push” would be the way to go.” (Elisa Britzelmeier, Süddeutsche Zeitung)
“Hospital series are a dime a dozen, but “Push” is something special – and not just on the production side.
The content of the ZDFneo production is also radical and maximally authentic. The makers have achieved their self-declared goal.”
(Timo Niemeier on DWDL.de)
Prime Video has released first photos and additional members of the cast and crew for the next film adaptation of bestselling German thriller author Sebastian Fitzek’s “DER HEIMWEG”.

Production: Ziegler Film GmbH / Amazon Studios
Starring: Luise Heyer, Sabin Tambrea, Friedrich Mücke and many more
In the middle of a carnival boxing stall, Ben (Damian Hardung) crosses the path of prizefighter Zelda (Havanna Joy Josephine Braun).
With a quick hook, Zelda sends the stunned Ben to the canvas – only to realize shortly afterwards that they are connected in a truly extraordinary way: through true, absolute love.
But there is something else that connects the two lovers. A dark secret that turns their families into bitter enemies. Against all odds, Ben and Zelda choose to fight for their love.
