Little Dot Studios has expanded its partnership with New Dominion Pictures to launch the official FBI Files Deutschland podcast, which goes live today.
The new weekly German-language series is hosted by renowned voice-over artist and television presenter Stephan Bultmann and produced by the Little Dot Studios team based in Germany.
It adapts cases from the classic US series specifically for German-speaking audiences, bringing its deep-dives into forensic science and criminal investigation to podcast listeners. New episodes will be released every Monday on all major podcast platforms.
Little Dot Studios, an All3Media company, has a long-standing relationship with New Dominion Pictures. The team provides full channel management, paid media, and digital copyright management for the official The FBI Files and The FBI Files Deutschland YouTube channels, which have built a highly engaged community of true crime fans.
The company also licenses The FBI Files for its global network on the Real Crime FAST channel in English, Spanish, French, and German, and on the Real Crime YouTube channel, which has 1.96 million subscribers.
Nils Franck, Managing Director of Little Dot Studios Germany, said the success of The FBI Files Deutschland across YouTube, Waipu, and Joyn has shown 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,” he said. “In Stephan Bultmann, we have found the perfect host to bring these classic stories to life for both existing fans and new listeners in an audio format, as we look to reach a larger audience.”
Kristen Eppley, Executive Vice President of Distribution at New Dominion Pictures, said: “For decades, The FBI Files has been a cornerstone of the true crime genre, and we are thrilled to expand our successful partnership with Little Dot Studios to bring these iconic stories to a new medium.
