Disney+ has announced that all episodes of The Breslau Murders will arrive on the streaming platform on September 12th.

The eight-part crime drama is set in Breslau in the year 1936. The 11th Olympic Games are approaching, and the eyes of the entire world are turned towards the capital of the Third Reich. Meanwhile, in Breslau, a brutal murder takes place which may ruin the whole propaganda campaign and disrupt the great sports event. The only one who can close the investigation in time is the police commissioner of Polish origin Franz Podolsky (Tomasz Schuchardt), who despises the Third Reich but feels duty-bound to bring the killer to justice. Known for his controversial but effective methods, Podolsky finds himself face to face with the emerging evil. While facing his own demons, he begins a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the murderer, threatening both his career and personal life.

Podolsky’s wife, Lena (Sandra Drzymalska), also becomes unwittingly entangled in the criminal intrigue. The source of the pressure is Johan Holtz (Ireneusz Czop), an SS officer who wields absolute power in Breslau.

The ensemble cast also includes Ireneusz Czop, Agata Kulesza, Jakub Sierenberg, Bartłomiej Deklewa and oraz Piotr Janusz. The series is directed by Leszek Dawid, the cinematography by Paweł Flis, and the script was written by Magdalena Żakowska and Bartosz Janiszewski.
