Festival highlights on Wednesday
A number of gripping series celebrated their premieres on Wednesday. From the sold-out double premiere of Club der Dinosaurier and REMBETIS - Die Geisterjäger to the captivating co-production REYKJAVIK FUSION and the atmospheric radio drama series KYLLROTH. The BOOKCLUB WITH mädels, die lesen focussed on the series DAISY JONES & THE SIX, and we were able to watch the first episode as well as the second episode of HUNDERTDREIZEHN in the presence of actor Armin Rohde and the series producers.
It was particularly nice that both the makers and the series stars were present in person at almost all of the series screenings on Wednesday. Some of the actors, including Michael Kessler, Hannah Schiller and Max Mauff, were there and made the evening something very special. At REYKJAVIK FUSION, we were also delighted to be visited by the main actor Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Severance).
That was the last festival evening!
After the start on Tuesday with the premiere of HUNDERTDREIZEHN and the highlights on Wednesday, Thursday was the last day of the SERIENCAMP FESTIVAL 2025.
The sold-out premieres of SOFTIES, CHABOS and THE DANISH WOMAN were celebrated at Cinenova and the European premiere of the Turkish series REMINDER was screened at Cinedom. Ryan Reynolds' voice accompanied viewers in the animal documentary UNDERDOGS and LOVE SCAM immersed them in the true story of an unbelievable case of fraud.
Numerous series makers and actors were also on site on Thursday to celebrate the latest series together.
With CHABOS we welcomed the entire main cast and many of the other series stars such as Anke Engelke and Dennis Moschitto.
For REMINDER, series stars Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç travelled all the way from Turkey to experience the European premiere of REMINDER together with their fans at SERIENCAMP FESTIVAL.
The cast and crew of SOFTIES were also well represented: The main actors Damian Hardung, Oskar Redfern and Samir Salim as well as other cast members and the series creators were there in person.
‘For our eleventh anniversary, we couldn't help but give back to Cologne some of the love we've experienced here,’ says Co-Managing Director Malko Solf, delighted with the continued success of the festival format. "What is negotiated or pitched at the conference often finds its way first to our festival and then out into the world. Being able to be a small but not insignificant building block in this utilisation chain makes us a little proud."
The dates for the twelfth season of the SERIENCAMP FESTIVAL 2026 have yet to be announced.
