Munich / Berlin, 9th February 2016 - A milestone in the Video on Demand
sector: Wanted is the first German series from a video streaming service.
The Amazon Originals series with Matthias Schweighöfer (Der Nanny,
Vaterfreunden, Kokowääh) celebrates its premiere on Amazon Prime in Germany
and Austria at the start of 2017. Wanted is an Amazon Original Production
from Pantaleon Entertainment AG (XETRA: PAL, ISIN: DE000A12UPJ7), Warner
Bros. Entertainment GmbH and Warner Bros. International Television
Production Deutschland GmbH. Wanted also marks a milestone in the career of
lead actor Matthias Schweighöfer: it is his series debut as director.

Says Matthias Schweighöfer: "It is a highly exciting challenge to direct a
series, one I'm massively looking forward to and which I am very happy to
take on, together with my production company Pantaleon."

The Amazon Originals series revolves around a project manager at a Berlin
congress centre, Lukas Franke (Matthias Schweighöfer). He is victim of a
hacking attack, which seemingly by coincidence endangers both his
professional success and private happiness - then he finds himself the
centre of events which could cost him not only his family but also his
life.

"This extraordinary cooperation with Matthias Schweighöfer, one of the most
in-demand actors and directors in the German-speaking region, lifts
Germany's most popular video streaming service, Amazon Prime, to a whole
new level", says Christoph Schneider, CEO of Amazon Video Deutschland.
"With our first regional Amazon Originals production we are not only
translating into action the wish of many of our customers for exclusive
German content, we are also expanding our service to new groups of viewers
and, in addition, establishing Amazon Prime as an important partner for
local producers and creatives."

Says Willi Geike, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment GmbH: We
are very looking forward to working with Amazon and our much experienced
and extremely talented partner Matthias Schweighöfer and his production
company Pantaleon. For Warner Brothers this is another step in our strategy
to produce high quality, German-language feature films and TV-series with
the most innovative and creative partners."
