It doesn’t exactly sound like something you’d expect to see on Disney+, on paper at least, but Deadline reports today that Disney+ has given the green light to a German series titled “Pauline,” which comes from the team behind Netflix’s How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast).

With school stress, the climate crisis and the downfall of society weighing heavily on her mind, something she doesn’t need at all right now is catching feelings, especially not for her one-night stand Lukas, who, as it turns out, is the devil himself.”
Sebastian Colley wrote “Pauline,” with attached directors including Arabella Bartsch, Alma Buddecke and Facundo Scalerandi. The cast includes Sira-Anna Faal (Berlin Nobody) as Pauline, Ludger Bökelmann as Lukas,...

Netflix movies may still be question mark in terms of being allowed in competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival in May, but the streaming giant will be present at Cannes Series. The Cannes television festival will mark its second year next month with Netflix going up against rival Amazon in the competition section. The full lineup includes series from Israel, Norway, Spain, and Belgium.
Netflix’s competition entry is the German series “How to Sell Drugs Online Fast,” from writers Philipp Käßbohrer and Matthias Murmann. Amazon is heading to Cannes Series with “The Feed,” a London-set drama created by Channing Powell and based on the novel Nick Clark Windo. “The Feed” stars “Game of Thrones” favorite Michelle Fairley opposite David Thewlis in a story about a piece of technology that allows people to instantly share thoughts and emotions. The tech falls into the wrong hands and becomes a murderous weapon.
