Fan Casting The Golden Twenties: A Jazz Age in Germany

The Golden Twenties brings to life the exhilarating, turbulent period of the 1920s in Germany—an era of cultural rebirth, social revolution, and political unrest. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I recovery, the series explores the vibrant and sometimes decadent lives of a diverse cast of characters who navigate the highs and lows of this iconic decade.

As Germany emerges from the chaos of hyperinflation and the aftermath of the Great War, a new generation rises, fueled by a sense of freedom and excitement. With jazz music filling the air, Berlin becomes the beating heart of Europe’s most electrifying cultural revolution. Artists, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and outcasts are drawn to the city's underground clubs, avant-garde theaters, and bohemian cafes, while the scars of war continue to haunt the older generation.

The show captures the spirit of this Roaring Twenties era through the lives of a diverse group of individuals: a young American jazz singer who becomes a sensation in Berlin’s nightclubs, an ambitious journalist trying to carve out a career amidst the political chaos, an idealistic artist challenging traditional values, and a former soldier grappling with post-traumatic stress as he becomes involved in the rise of extremist politics.
