That’s what the post-apocalyptic series Helgoland 513 is about
After a global catastrophe, 513 survivors on the offshore island of Helgoland in 2036 fight against both the harsh environment and tensions and rivalries within their own community. In order to distribute the limited resources on the rocky island, A “social ranking” system was introduced, which assigns residents a fixed place in a brutal hierarchy. For example, a doctor is at the top, while other, less “useful” people struggle through the lower levels of the community. The community comes under additional pressure from a group from the mainland who are seeking refuge on the island.
Helgoland 513 was created based on an idea by Veronica Priefer (The King of Palma) and Florian Wentsch (Legal Affairs). Robert Schwentke (The Captain) acts as showrunner, head writer and also directed.
The cast of the Endzeit series includes Martina Gedeck (Wunderschön), Alexander Fehling, who was already part of the cast of Schwentke’s Der Hauptmann and Seneca, as well as Samuel Finzi (Der Hauptmann) and Antje Traue (Man of Steel).
The start date of Heligoland 513 has already been set
Heligoland 513 starts on March 15, 2024 on Sky and WOW. 7 episodes are planned.
If you want to plunge into an apocalyptic story on an island beforehand, you should make a note of Christian Alvart’s pandemic thriller Sløborn, which is currently streaming on Netflix and in the ZDF media library. We can’t wait to see what twists Helgoland 513 adds to the genre. With the social ranking as the basic structure of the island society, there is definitely fuel for an exciting story.
