Season 4 begins on 1929’s New Year’s Eve with a massive political demonstration, climaxed by a Nazi attack on Jews and Jewish businesses on Berlin’s most prestigious shopping street.
A compelling chronicle of life, death, power and corruption in Germany’s boisterous capital before Hitler, “Babylon Berlin” scores as a critically acclaimed, extremely popular global phenomenon.
After its first three seasons on Netflix, Season 4 arrives Tuesday on MHz Choice as filming begins on its fifth season later this year.
Carrying the series is Volker Bruch’s Police Inspector Gereon Rath who we follow as “Babylon Berlin” literally teems with dozens of characters, international intrigue, glamor, decadence and murder. Think “Cabaret” times 10.
Gereon Rath has inevitably changed Bruch’s career. He has been playing Gereon since 2016 when filming first began.
“I like that he always tries to do what’s best, what he thinks is best, and how he really tries to stay true to himself,” Bruch, 44, said in English on a Zoom interview from Berlin.
