Netflix has announced the forthcoming arrival of a new psychological mini-series called Dear Child (aka Liebes Kind). The six-part German series is based on the novel of the same name by Romy Hausmann and will be landing on the streaming service in September.
Produced by Constantin Television, the series follows the story of Lena and her two children Hannah and Jonathan. In the series, Lena has been missing for 13 years, and along with her children she has been held captive and subjected to a truly harrowing experience.
Netflix’s description of Dear Child reads as follows: “Lena and the children Hannah and Jonathan live in a highly secured house, completely isolated from the rest of the world. They eat their meals, use the bathroom, and go to bed according to a strict schedule.
“As soon as he enters the room, they line up and present their hands. They do everything he says. Until Lena manages to escape.
“After a car accident leaves her severely injured, she is taken to hospital with Hannah at her side.”
According to Netflix, “Dear Child begins where other thrillers end: with salvation. The true extent of this nightmare is revealed that night, when Lena’s parents arrive after spending 13 years frantically searching for their daughter.”
This intriguing new series is the work of writers and directors Isabel Kleefeld and Julian Pörksen, with Tom Spiess and Friederich Oetker on board as producers. Music is composed by Gustavo Santaolalla and Juan Luqui.
The cast of Dear Child includes Kim Riedle, Naila Schuberth, Sammy Schrein, Hans Löw, Haley Louise Jones, Justus von Dohnányi, Julika Jenkins, Birge Schade, Christian Beermann, Seraphina Maria Schweiger, Özgür Karadeniz and Jeanne Goursaud.
Should you wish to check out Dear Child, the series makes its debut in late summer. All six episodes will be available on Netflix worldwide from September 7th 2023.
