The acclaimed German WWII drama Das Boot has finally resurfaced — and this time, it’s staying afloat in the U.S. for good.
All episodes of Das Boot Season 1 are streaming now on MHz Choice, with Season 2 set to follow on August 4!
Inspired by the autobiographical novel by Lothar-Günther Buchheim and Wolfgang Petersen’s Oscar-nominated 1981 film of the same name, Das Boot follows the crew of the German U-boat U-612 as they set out on their maiden voyage in the autumn of 1942, under the command of a young new captain, Klaus Hoffmann. Claustrophobic, tense, and unflinching, the series captures life aboard a submarine at war. Meanwhile, a parallel storyline set in occupied France follows a young woman navigating a dangerous path between the Gestapo and the French Resistance.
The powerhouse ensemble cast includes Fleur Geffrier (Sea Shadows, Drops of God), Rick Okon (Tatort), Tom Wlaschiha (Game of Thrones), Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread), Franz Dinda (Babylon Berlin), and Rainer Bock. The highly lauded series was nominated for eleven German Television Awards, including Best Series, Best Actor (Bester Schauspieler) and Best Actress winner Vicky Krieps.
This marks the first time the complete series will be available stateside; MHz Choice is bringing the full four-season saga to American audiences, including seasons that have never streamed in the U.S. before.
Whether you’re a WWII drama devotee or just looking for your next binge-worthy series, Das Boot delivers gripping, character-driven storytelling both above and below the waves.
Das Boot Season 1 is streaming now in the U.S. on MHz Choice.
Season 2 premieres August 4!
