Biohackers

What if students secretly experiment with biohacking technologies that could change humanity? Biohackers tells a highly-gripping story about friendship, love and revenge at a German University that is overshadowed by a revolutionary biohacking-technology and its ethical implications. It centers around the rivalry of two women: Mia, played by Swiss shooting star Luna Wedler (“Das schönste Mädchen der Welt”, “Dem Horizont so nah”), is a medicine student in her first term who boldly pursues a secret plan. Her adversary is Prof. Tanja Lorenz, a bio-scientist and famous lecturer played by Jessica Schwarz  (“Das perfekte Geheimnis”, “Narziss und Goldmund”). Biohackers, a six-part Netflix Original Series by showrunner and director Christian Ditter (“How to be Single”, “Love Rosie”, “Girlboss”) debuts worldwide on Netflix on August 20th. Joining the cast in addition to Luna Wedler and Jessica Schwarz are Caro Cult, Adrian Julius Tillmann, Thomas Prenn, Sebastian Doppelbauer, Jing Xiang and Benno Fürmann. With its innovative genre mix, the show is a perfect storm of gripping suspense and fun. Christian Ditter, director and showrunner: “What happens when normal people, like you and I, are confronted with things that are bigger than themselves? How far do you go to satisfy your desire for fame or even revenge? Where do we draw moral and ethical boundaries? What is synthetic biology, biohacking or bodyhacking anyway? And what happens when Jessica Schwarz and Luna Wedler compete as star professor and freshman? All these questions will finally be answered with the worldwide launch of Biohackers on Netflix starting August 20." [Source: Netflix]
