Separately, ZDF, the German public broadcaster, announced the upcoming premiere of a new thriller series, “Phoenix – Change or Die,” set to launch on its streaming portal on April 10, 2026, with a linear broadcast on ZDFneo beginning April 19, 2026. The six-part series centers on a radical activist group, also named Phoenix, that kidnaps the children of European corporate leaders accused of environmental damage. The group aims to force the companies to adhere to previously stated environmental commitments. The series depicts a divided public opinion, with some viewing the group as desperate advocates for the planet and others condemning their actions as terrorism.
