Berlin, May 23, 2023 – On June 22, 2023, Sleeping Dogs will launch on Netflix. In the six-part thriller series, aspiring district attorney Jule Andergast (Luise von Finckh) and ex-police officer Mike Atlas (Max Riemelt) begin to independently unravel a closed murder case. They soon find themselves caught in an ominous conspiracy that seems to implicate colleagues from within both their ranks.

Sleeping Dogs is based on the successful Israeli original series The Exchange Principle, created by Noah Stollman and Oded Davidoff. It launches worldwide on June 22, exclusively on Netflix.

About Sleeping Dogs

A fallen top police officer and a young, aspiring district attorney open a closed murder file, each for their own ends. They soon realize they’ve opened Pandora’s box. On the bloody trail, they discover a conspiracy that seems to lead ever deeper into the ranks of the police and the justice system. Or is it all connected with a terror attack that shook the town eighteen months ago?
