Munich – The world loves 'You Are Wanted'. The first German Amazon Original celebrated the most successful opening weekend of a series in the history of Amazon Prime Video in Germany and Austria. The show also had a successful global debut. In its first weekend, it has been among the top 5 most watched shows on Amazon Prime Video across 70 countries including Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, France and Spain. And the future looks bright: Amazon already commissioned a second season of 'You Are Wanted' starring Matthias Schweighöfer.
