Director: Arabella Bartsch
A one-night stand leaves nineteen-year-old Pauline pregnant, and the father is nowhere near ordinary — he's the devil's son.
What is Pauline about?
Pauline thought her biggest problem was explaining an unplanned pregnancy to her family. Then strange things start happening: her senses sharpen, her moods swing with terrifying intensity, and people who cross her end up hurt in ways she can't quite explain. As she pieces together who Lukas actually is, Pauline realizes the child she's carrying comes wrapped in an ancient conflict between good and evil, and that she herself may be the battlefield. Told with the nervy energy of a coming-of-age series, the show leans into body-horror and fantasy imagery without losing sight of Pauline as a scared, angry teenager trying to hold her life together.
Cast & crew

Context & significance
German television has leaned into supernatural teen drama in recent years, and this series sits comfortably in that lane — closer in spirit to a horror-tinged high-school story than a straight fantasy epic. Its short, forty-minute episodes keep the pacing brisk, and the 2024 release reflects a wider trend of streaming platforms betting on genre-blending youth dramas that mix real adolescent anxieties with supernatural stakes. The show also fits a broader pattern of European genre television using body horror as a stand-in for the disorientation of growing up too fast, which gives its wilder plot turns an emotional anchor beyond the shock value.
