Constantin Film and Big Light Productions have announced that they have hired Christian Schwochow to direct their upcoming series based on the Nuremberg Trials.
Schwochow, known for his work on high-profile productions such as “The Crown” and “Bad Banks”, joins the team to bring the shocking post-WWII Nuremberg trials to the screen.
The series, written by Frank Spotnitz, author of such hits as “The Man in the High Castle”, will follow the story of young war survivors who join the Allied prosecutors in the trials of Nazi criminals. However, their quest for justice is complicated by secret efforts to establish a new world order based on power rather than principle.

The cast features big names: Russell Cowe, Rami Malek and Colin Hanks among others.
Nuremberg” promises to be a thrilling series that will explore fundamental themes of justice, accountability and the fight against evil in a crucial period of world history.
