The shooting of the scene on the staircase took much longer than expected due to a lot of neighbors having privat parties on their balconies. The crew had to wait a couple of hours until everyone went to bed.

Jan’s part of the phone call was shot on the last day of shooting. So while Noah’s part was shot in late July, Jan’s part was shot in early December due to casting issues. Also actor Fabian Freistühler had the flue. As you may hear.

The joint they smoke in episode 3 was actually just herbs. It smelled and tasted awful the actors complained since they had to smoke a total of 6.

Actor Moustafa Tarraf was actually not able to swim. His co-star Julian Kinlechner taught him a few weeks before shooting. It’s never too late to learn something you can’t do YET!

Since the rainbow doormat hadn't shown up yet one night before shooting the crew created their own doormat by painting an ordinary one. Luckily the mat showed up on time… because the self-made one was not actually pretty.

The fight between Jan and Noah became so intense on actor Fabian Freistühler’s end that he hat to ensure crew and cast that he wasn’t actually mad at anyone. That’s what we call acting.

Actor Moustafa Tarraf overslept and missed the shooting of the opening credits of the second season. A boom operator took over his spot since there were no faces seen and he had the same haircut.  Moustafa Tarraf is also not on the season poster since it was shot the same night.

The tents were actually standing inside of the youth center anyway in cologne. The scenes were shot only a day after the scenes on the beach.

#trivia | Casting

Actor Moustafa Tarraf joined the casting spontaneously as well. He does not recall how he was made aware of it. He showed up too late and had to wait an hour before he was asked to read for the role of Marcel. He had eaten too much of the catering while waiting so he threw up shortly before he entered to read.
