‘Cassandra’: Netflix’s Terrifying German AI Horror Sets Release Date With a New Teaser

As Netflix is expanding its library of German projects, one of the most exciting upcoming titles is ‘Cassandra.’ This sci-fi series tells the story of a family moving into a high-tech smart home with a dark past—its previous residents died under strange circumstances. Surely the house’s lonely robot isn’t involved… or is it?

Announced in September 2023, the series is written and directed by Benjamin Gutsche (‘Der Antrag, All You Need’) and produced by Eva Stadler and Christian Becker with Rat Pack Film. Amara Palacios is the executive producer, with J. Moritz Kaethner handling the cinematography.

Netflix recently announced that the show will be released on February 6, 2025, with a new teaser for the show:

The official synopsis for the show states the following:

The oldest smart home in Germany has been empty since the owners died under mysterious circumstances over 50 years ago. When Samira moves in with her family today, the electronic household helper Cassandra awakens from her decades-long slumber.

Developed in the 1970s to provide for a family and out of service after the death of its former residents, Cassandra now senses a second chance. However, she considers herself to be much more than a fairy godmother who gets everything in order. Cassandra soon sees herself as an equal member of the family and does everything she can to not be left alone again – using every means at her disposal

I mean it’s not exactly the most original project out there, but it certainly extremely relevant now that AI is becoming a reality for so many people.

The cast of ‘Cassandra’ features Lavinia Wilson (‘Legal Affairs’) in the lead role as Cassandra, alongside Mina Tander (‘Berlin Station’) as Samira and Michael Klammer (‘The Teacher’s Lounge’) as David. Franz Hartwig (‘Dark’), Mary Tölle (‘Vierwanderplus’), and Joshua Kantara (‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of the Nightingale and the Serpent’) also star.

Rounding out the cast are Elias Grünthal (‘Mega!’) as Peter and Filip Schnack (‘Die Quellen des Bösen’) as Steve.
