“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)

Shooting of upcoming Vampire series completed:

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.
