“King of Stonks” is a German thriller drama series created by Philippe Kässbohrer, Jan Bonny, and Matthias Murmann that follows the life of a programmer named Felix Armand. With dreams of reaching the very top, he wants nothing less than to be the CEO of CableCash AG – the largest FinTech company in Europe that he helped build.
However, during the IPO, nothing goes according to Felix’s plans as everything blows up in his face – cheating investors, money laundering, and Internet pornography. While he takes care of it all behind the scenes, he lets his boss Magnus take center stage.
But when he can’t handle much anymore, Felix turns from an ordinary programmer into one of the biggest fraudsters. Meanwhile, he falls in love with someone he must stay away from at all costs, Sheila Williams. With such interesting themes, the series takes viewers on an exciting psychological journey.
Not to mention, against the backdrop of the elegant cityscape in several scenes, many viewers will be taken in by the places where they take place. If you are one such curious soul, allow us to give you a detailed description of the production locations used for the King of Stonks series!
