The Same Sky (TV series)

The Same Sky (original title: Der gleiche Himmel) is a 2017 German TV series.

It is set during the 1970s in the divided city of Berlin, depicting the Cold War.

[1][2] The story revolves around the relationship between an East German "Romeo" agent – a spy who uses seduction as a way to unearth secrets — and his female targets in the West.

It was written by Paula Milne and directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel and stars Sofia Helin and Tom Schilling.

[citation needed] The interest by Amazon and Netflix in acquiring the rights to carry The Same Sky was kindled by the earlier success of another series also featuring a young agent dispatched to West Germany under an assumed identity, Deutschland 83.
