German Political Thriller DANGEROUS TRUTH Debuts in U.S. Thursday, April 9 On European Streamer Viaplay

Inspired by real events surrounding the faulty intelligence that helped justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the six-part German thriller Dangerous Truth explores a deadly conspiracy buried within European intelligence services.

Called "an engrossing political thriller with striking visuals, gripping twists and a first-class cast" (Mitteldeutsche Zeitung) and "a gripping binge-watch" (Serienjunkies.de), the series follows a man drawn into a decades-old political scandal with global consequences.

Following Viaplay's acclaimed Ukrainian series (Double Stakes, Trailer, LA Times review) and film (Heroes, Mar. 26), Viaplay features the U.S. debut of Dangerous Truth (Das Zweite Attentat) on Thursday, April 9.

Synopsis: Alex Jaromin (Noah Saavedra, Naked) is a young photographer who has spent most of his life hiding under a false identity in Athens as part of a witness protection program. Twenty years earlier, he survived a brutal attack that killed his father - a German army sniper - and his sister.

When Alex's mother suddenly dies, long-buried secrets begin to surface. He learns that the attack on his family may not have been the work of Serbian extremists, as he was always told. Instead, his father may have been involved in a covert mission tied to a mysterious Iraqi informant known as "Curveball" whose claims about weapons of mass destruction helped push the world toward war.

As Alex follows a trail from Athens to the corridors of power in Berlin, he uncovers a political scandal that powerful figures would rather keep buried. The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous his search becomes. Co-starring Torben Liebrecht (Babylon Berlin, Altered Carbon).
