Little Dot Studios is teaming up with New Dominion Pictures to launch the official FBI Files Deutschland podcast. Launching today, the new weekly German-language series is hosted by renowned voice-over artist and TV host Stephan Bultmann and is produced by the Little Dot Studios team based in Germany.
Little Dot Studios (an All3Media company) has a long-standing relationship with New Dominion Pictures, providing everything from full channel management to paid media and digital copyright management for the official The FBI Files and The FBI Files Deutschland YouTube channels, which have a highly engaged community of true-crime fans. They also license The FBI Files across on the Real Crime FAST channel in English, Spanish, French, and German and on the Real Crime YouTube channel, which is part of Little Dot Channels and has 1.96 million subscribers.
The partnership expansion will see Little Dot Studios Germany adapt cases from the classic US series specifically for a German-speaking audience, bringing the show’s signature deep-dives into forensic science and criminal investigation to a new audio format. Hosted by Bultmann, the podcast will delve into gripping investigations that made The FBI Files a global success. The series will be available on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes released every Monday.
Nils Franck, managing director, Little Dot Studios Germany, said: “The success of The FBI Files Deutschland across YouTube, Waipu and Joyn has shown us there is a significant and dedicated audience for this content in Germany. With true crime being one of the most popular podcast genres in the German-speaking territories, creating a podcast was the logical next step. In Stephan Bultmann, we have found the perfect host to bring these classic stories to life for both existing fans and new listeners.”
Kristen Eppley, executive vice president of distribution at New Dominion, said: “For decades, The FBI Files has been a cornerstone of the true crime genre, and we are thrilled to expand our partnership with Little Dot Studios to bring these iconic stories to a new medium. Their expertise in building fan communities makes them the perfect partner to launch the official FBI Files Deutschland podcast.”
