By Felo News Desk · Published
Apple TV+ is releasing season 2 of its German-language series Where’s Wanda?, a dark comedy‑thriller that follows parents Carlotta and Dedo Klatt as they attempt to prove their daughter’s innocence after she is discovered standing over a dead body.
What happened
Season 1 tracked the Klatts’ frantic search for their missing daughter, Wanda, aided by tech‑savvy son Ole. The first season concluded with Wanda’s capture. In the new season, the family is again desperate to protect their child, this time by uncovering the real killer while Wanda endures prison life, confronting familiar enemies and new threats.
What the reports add
Variety notes that the series was created, written and executive‑produced by Oliver Lansley, with executive producer and UFA Fiction managing director Nataly Kudiabor and Oliver Ossege also credited. The story is co‑created by Zoltan Spirandelli and directed by Tobi Baumann and Christian Ditter. Kudiabor says the plot twist at the end of season 1 opened “a whole new set of possibilities” for the sequel.
What was said
“Season 2 picks up at a fantastic starting point,” Kudiabor told Variety. “We’re telling an entirely new story while staying true to the emotional heart of the series: just how far would you go to save your child?” She added that the series’ universal theme appealed to Apple TV+ and that retaining its distinctly German identity was “very important.”
How it came about
Apple TV+ promoted the series as its first German‑language original, and the show’s success led to a second season. Earlier this year, Felo News reported on the season 2 trailer, confirming an October 21 premiere and highlighting the higher stakes and darker tone. The continuation builds on the Klatt family’s descent into Sundersheim’s criminal underworld, a narrative thread first introduced in the debut season.
