EDMONTON – Super Channel has licensed the contemporary spy drama Berlin Station from Paramount Pictures.
Produced by Paramount Television and Anonymous Content for EPIX in the U.S., Berlin Station follows Daniel Miller (Richard Armitage, Hannibal) who has just arrived at the CIA station in Berlin, Germany with a clandestine mission: to determine the identity of a now-famous whistleblower masquerading as "Thomas Shaw." Guided by jaded veteran Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans, Snowden) Daniel learns to contend with the rough-and-tumble world of the field officer–agent-running, deception, danger and moral compromises.
The ten-part espionage thriller will make its Canadian broadcast premiere on May 15 at 10:00 PM ET (SC1), and each hour-long episode will also be available to viewers on Super Channel On Demand the day following its weekly linear broadcast.
“We’re excited to bring this modern-day spy thriller from Paramount Television and Anonymous Content to our subscribers,” said director of programming, international distributors and Canadian pre-sales, Melissa Kajpust, in the news release. “Set in the high-stakes world of a CIA field office and featuring a stellar ensemble cast, Berlin Station will satisfy not only those viewers who love Homeland on Super Channel, but anyone looking for a top-notch thriller with powerful characters and compelling storytelling.”
