Paramount+ unveils Parallel Me, a new German series created by Jana Burbach, available from September 18, 2025 with full episodes at launch. Starring Malaya Stern Takeda and David Kross, this dramatic fantasy drama, originally titled Anywhere, offers an original exploration of parallel lives and the choices that shape existence.
Parallel Me will be available from September 18, 2025 on Paramount+, with all episodes accessible from launch.
Synopsis: Toni Falk, a brilliant but isolated executive, sees her life fall apart after being made redundant in Dubai. Back in Berlin, everything seems to be slipping away: her ex becomes a father, her best friend leaves, and her parents turn her childhood bedroom into a sauna. One New Year's Eve, she meets Ariadne, a mysterious "goddess" who gives her a magic shawl. Thanks to the shawl, Toni travels to alternative versions of her life and discovers the many facets of her destiny.
Parallel Me combines dramatic comedy, fantasy and existential drama. Based on a heroine who is both ambitious and vulnerable, the series explores the universal dilemmas of work, family, friendship and love. The journey through alternative universes serves here as a metaphor for questioning identity and the quest for a true "home".
The lead role is played by Malaya Stern Takeda, surrounded by David Kross, Maria Schrader, Ulrich Noethen, Caroline Peters and Larissa Sirah Herden. The presence of established actors such as Maria Schrader, who won Emmy Awards for her work, lends a prestigious dimension to the series, which was shot between Germany, Thailand, Poland and France.
Created by acclaimed German screenwriter Jana Burbach, Parallel Me (original title Anywhere) is part of a new wave of ambitious European series co-produced internationally. Toni Falk's story, inspired by ancient myths and modern dilemmas, blends urban realism with poetic fantasy.
The series is aimed at viewers who appreciate tales of time and parallel travel, akin to the atmosphere of Dark or Sliding Doors. Fans of contemporary comedy-dramas such as Fleabag or Russian Doll may also find an echo here, thanks to its blend of psychological realism, humor and fantastical elements.
Parallel Me is a Paramount+ series created by Jana Burbach. Available from September 18, 2025, it offers an original reflection on parallel lives through the destiny of Toni Falk. Starring Malaya Stern Takeda, David Kross and Maria Schrader, this international production combines comedy-drama and fantasy for a singular narrative journey.
