Diane Kruger Brings Beloved ‘Bluey’ Stories to German Audiences – Global Bulletin

by

DEUTSCH DEBUT

Renowned actress Diane Kruger is providing the voiceover for the inaugural German versions of “Bluey Book Reads”, a significant step for this digital phenomenon. Known for her roles in “Troy” and “Inglourious Basterds”, as well as leading Fatih Akin’s Cannes-premiered “Amrum”, Kruger has narrated popular “Bluey” tales “The Creek” and “Camping” in her native language.

On the German “Bluey” YouTube channel, “The Creek” debuted on May 27th, and “Camping” followed suit on May 30th. You can also catch both episodes on Bluey.TV. (In other words, these two episodes were initially released on the “Bluey” YouTube channel on their respective dates, but you can also watch them on Bluey.TV.)

Every evening, we don’t go to bed at home without a favorite Bluey book. I was delighted to be able to read those two tales, and I earned some ‘mom points’ for it,” Kruger expressed.

The German versions are included in the second series of “Bluey Book Reads,” joining the French narrations by Camille Cottin and Korean readings by Han Ga-in as part of an international expansion. This initiative is a collaborative effort between BBC Studios Digital Brands, BBC Studios Kids & Family, and Ludo Studio.

LUXURY LIMITATIONS

The German production company Banijay is introducing the reality competition series titled “Villa of Temptations,” which will premiere on SAT.1 and streaming platform Joyn on July 7th. This show, hosted by Verona Pooth, takes place in an alluring paradise setting where luxury carries a hidden price.

Competitors must endure fundamental rules – no beds, showers or luxurious facilities – while a €250,000 ($283,000) prize pool remains untouched. The twist: personal luxuries decrease the overall winnings, forcing contestants to balance loyalty against self-interest over a span of two weeks.

Katrin Stefanović, co-managing director of Banijay Productions Germany, commented that German viewers remain enthralled by reality shows, and ‘Villa of Temptations’ provides a tropical backdrop ideal for testing the ethics and intentions of some prominent German personalities.

Established back in 2018, this company is responsible for creating popular shows such as “Kampf der Realitystars” and “Temptation Island.
