A climate-controlled Berlin hides a vampire economy

The series takes place after extreme climate damage has changed daily life. A controlled dome protects part of Berlin while resources outside it remain unstable. That protection creates a city divided by access, power and the ability to survive inside the new system.

Vampires have used those conditions to control organized crime. Blood is traded as a valuable resource, and the groups managing it are no longer satisfied with influence from the shadows. The trailer moves the conspiracy toward public institutions, giving the season a political threat as well as a supernatural one.

Bea and Phoebe enter the conspiracy from different sides

Lea Drinda plays Bea, while Soma Pysall plays her estranged sister Phoebe. Their separation gives the story two routes into Berlin’s hidden power structure before the sisters are forced back into the same conflict.

The official trailer shows them dealing with violent encounters, family history and people who may not be human. Their reunion is not presented as simple reconciliation. Trust has to be rebuilt while the sisters work out who benefits from the city’s blood economy.
