Backstage
Series Overview
Backstage is a German documentary-style TV series on ZDF that takes viewers behind the scenes of popular ZDF shows and productions.

Each episode focuses on a different show or production as its subject. For example, it has shown what happens behind the camera of series like Bettys Diagnose, the cooking show Die Küchenschlacht or the crime drama Nord Nord Mord, exploring both the technical and human aspects of making television.
