The producers of Netflix’s German hit How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast) are adapting romcom Love & Anarchy for the streamer. The original version of the romcom was out of Sweden, and also for Netflix. Cameras are about to roll on the new German adaptation, which will shoot in Hamburg.
FLX produced the Swedish show, which follows a consultant and married mother who starts playing a flirtatious game with a young I.T. expert. They challenge each other to perform daring tasks. That show has run to two seasons.
How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast) and King Of Stonks producer Bilduntonfabrik is making the German Love & Anarchy. The news was revealed during a session moderated by Deadline at the Seriesly confab with the indie label’s co-founders, Philipp Käßbohrer and Matthias Murman, and Lisa Kreimeyer, Director of Series for Netflix in the DACH region.
The panelists broke down how they worked together on How To Sell Drugs, the tale of a geeky teenager who sets up a drug-dealing enterprise on the dark net. The show ran to four seasons and was BTF’s first scripted show and one of Netflix’s first German originals.
Käßbohrer was named Deadline’s 2025 German TV Disruptor for earlier this year, and with Murman, has built BTF into a label that makes everything from docs to talk shows to drama and videogames.
Asked about other projects that BTF and Netflix are working up, Kreimeyer gave the lowdown on the romcom remake and said other shows are in the works.
“There’s one that’s very concrete, because we start shooting it in two weeks, and that’s an adaptation of the Swedish series Love & Anarchy. We don’t have a German title yet, but that’s happening very soon and BTF is producing. Then there’s another series that we have already greenlit that will shoot next year and also a couple more things.”
