NME reports on the beginning of production of "Hamburg Days," from the BBC.
The show...is set in the early 1960s and looks at the band’s years performing in the German city before they hit the big time. Succession‘s Jamie Carragher has written the show, with The Crown‘s Christian Schwochow and Call My Agent Berlin‘s Laura Lackmann directing.
It has now been confirmed that production has commenced on the six-part series in Merseyside and Munich.
Based on an autobiography by artist Klaus Voormann, the project takes place “in the smoke-filled clubs of Hamburg’s St. Pauli’s red-light district”.
Hamburg Days will feature Rhys Mannion as John Lennon, Ellis Murphy as Paul McCartney, Harvey Brett as George Harrison, as well as Louis Landau and Patrick Gilmore as early band members Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best. Luna Jordan will take on the role of Kirchherr, with Laura Tonke playing her mother Nielsa, while Casper von Bülow portrays Voormann.
