On September 12, 2024, Apple TV Plus unveiled the official trailer for its inaugural German-language series, Where’s Wanda? This roughly 2-minute promo quickly gained popularity, amassing over 100,000 views by the time of writing this article.
Following its premiere on Apple TV Plus on October 2, 2024, Where’s Wanda? attracted even more viewers, many of whom became curious about the veracity of the events depicted in the series.
Where’s Wanda? is a Fictional Narrative
As noted, this dark comedy is purely a work of fiction, and any resemblance to real-life events or individuals is purely coincidental.
Viewers have observed that the creators of the show have ingeniously woven a fictional tale about a 17-year-old girl’s disappearance and the ineffectiveness of the police, embedding comedic elements that do not explicitly draw strong parallels to existing societal issues.
Many believe this approach effectively highlights these themes while keeping the narrative engaging for a broader audience.
About the Show
In the weeks leading up to the show’s release, Apple TV+ Press provided a detailed synopsis for Where’s Wanda?, outlining its compelling plot. The logline describes:

The synopsis continues:
“When the police fail to locate her, the family resorts to their own measures, enlisting the help of their tech-savvy son Ole to acquire surveillance equipment.
