"Kacken an der Havel" streaming on Netflix

All nine episodes will be available on Netflix starting February 26, 2026.

One of the wildest, most emotional, and funniest projects I've ever had the privilege of working on—with an incredible team.

Ever since he can remember, Toni has wanted nothing more than to leave his hometown of Kacken (an der Havel) and become a famous rapper. But even after 18 years in Berlin, his career still hasn't taken off and Toni makes a living as a pizza baker. Until his life is turned upside down when his mother dies while rescuing a duck and Toni has to return to Kacken. Unexpectedly, he's offered the career opportunity of a lifetime yet at the same time, he must deal with his younger stepfather Johnny Carrera, the talking baby duck Tupac, and the other quirky villagers. And as if that weren't enough, his 13-year-old son Charly, whom he never knew about, suddenly shows up in his life.

With Anton Schneider, Sky Arndt, Dimitrij Schaad, Jella Haase and many more.
