About The Allegation
25 defendants, 300 trial days and a legal scandal that has gone down in the history of jurisprudence: In this thrilling legal drama, bestselling author Ferdinand von Schirach transports the so-called "Worms Trials", a German legal scandal from the nineties into the present. The result is a gripping, current legal drama about hysteria in social media, collective anger and how the hunger for revenge can overlook the victims.
Directed by Jan Ehlert, Oliver Berben, Ferdinand von Schirach, The Allegation leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Kurth, Narges Rashidi, Sebastian Urzendowsky — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
