Babylon Berlin – Season 5
The final season of the hit ARD series “Babylon Berlin” is now available on the ARD media center. Season 5 begins in January 1933, as the darkest chapter in German history unfolds. Charlotte Ritter (Liv Lisa Fries) investigates a series of murders targeting former frontline soldiers. When Gereon Rath (Volker Bruch) suddenly vanishes without a trace, Charlotte doesn’t know if she’ll ever see him again.
5 seasons, 48 episodes, 533 days of filming, over 400 actors and actresses, 17,000 extras, produced by 2,046 crew members at over 500 filming locations. A series of superlatives even when it comes to the costumes.
Costume designer Pierre-Yves Gayraud says: “Season after season, through the twists and turns of the Weimar Republic, with a fantastic, talented, and loyal costume team by my side, we designed so many different costumes for this impressive array of characters, including the countless extras, that I will remember it as an endless waltz. These ten years were a fantastic playground, inspired by the 1920s and 1930s. Deeply steeped in historical allusions, we also welcomed small details from the 1980s and 1990s as a lifeline to achieve a certain timelessness.”
