Everything to know about the German period mystery, ‘Dolly’
The newest period dramas on Netflix have one thing in common: a headstrong female lead who refuses to bow to societal pressures, traditional expectations, and conventions of the time. Thankfully, that leadership is retained in its upcoming German period mystery, Dolly, too.
Netflix may have found its next big historical hit with a brand-new serial killer mystery ready to make itself right at home on your watchlist.
Set in late 19th-century Germany, the period drama is helmed by Hanno Hackfort, Richard Kropf, and Bob Konrad, collectively known as HaRiBo, who were behind the Netflix Original assassin thriller Kleo.
As for the rest of the details, here’s a comprehensive rundown of everything known so far about Dolly.
What is the plot?
Dolly is a forthcoming murder mystery drama series on Netflix that takes viewers deep into the dark, cobbled streets of Berlin in 1899. The crime thriller follows Dolly Pinkus, a steadfast, rebellious woman, who narrowly escapes the grasp of a serial killer. But when the authorities fail to ensure a prompt, responsible investigation, Dolly launches her own, pairing up with her best friend Mieze and a young cop, Inspector Carl, to embark on a cat-and-mouse chase to capture the perpetrator.
Who is in the cast and crew?
Dolly is spearheaded by an impressive ensemble, joined by Derya Akyol, Samirah Breuer, Sean Douglas, Max Hubacher, Merlin Rose, Bela Kampschulte, Karolina Lodyga, Andreas Lust, Maria Matschke Engel, Odine Johne, and Jerry Kwarteng. However, Netflix has yet to reveal the confirmed cast’s designated roles.
While HaRiBo serves as the creator and showrunner for the serial-killer mystery, they are also the primary screenwriters alongside Malina Nwabuonwor. Isabel Braak and Mia Spengler have taken the director’s chair. Meanwhile, Isabel von Forster is handling production design, with Gabriela Reumer designing the costume, and Uta Spikermann and Grit Kosse overseeing hair and makeup.
