Sky Atlantic announces transmission date for series three of Babylon Berlin

Now here’s some news to cheer our winter hearts.

Sky Atlantic has announced the transmission date for series three of Babylon Berlin, the terrific Berlin-based noir.

Based on the bestselling detective novels of Volker Kutscher and arguably the most lavishly-produced non-English language television production ever, Babylon Berlin returns for its third chapter in the Weimer-era drama. And, as ever, Sky will be broadcasting two episodes a week.

It’s the Great Berlin Stock Market crash of 1929. As small-time shareholders and savers storm the stock exchange and the banks to attempt to empty out their accounts, detective Gereon Rath and his protégé Charlotte investigate the on-set death of German film actress Betty Winter. It soon becomes apparent the tragedy was no accident, and there were many shady parties who had invested interests in the film.

Babylone Berlin: Friday 6th March, 9pm, Sky Atlantic
