The Zweiflers

Southeast US Premiere

Winner of Best Series and Best Music at the prestigious Canneseries festival, The Zweiflers takes viewers on a mouthwatering journey through the highs and lows of a family delicatessen empire. At its heart is Simcha Zweifler, a Holocaust survivor and family patriarch, who, ready to sell his legendary delicatessen business, is confronted by ghosts from his past in Frankfurt's red light district. As long-buried family tensions resurface, the Zweiflers’ world becomes a pressure cooker of conflict, especially with Simcha’s grandson Samuel and his girlfriend Saba expecting a son.

Set against the backdrop of Frankfurt and Berlin, two bustling cities rich in culture and history, this contemporary Jewish family saga explores how the past collides with the future over food, legacy, and love. With an ensemble cast that delivers both humor and heart, The Zweiflers is a tragicomic exploration of identity and heritage, where each family member grapples with decisions that will change their lives forever. A Jewish Succession with the richness of delicatessen lore, this series serves up a feast of family drama, leaving viewers hungry for more.

Please note that all six episodes in the series are being made available to stream, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the story. To make it even easier for you to enjoy, we've extended the watch window, giving you more time to experience the series at your own pace.
