Amazon is getting into bed with comedian Markus Stoll for its latest German original.
The Svod service has commissioned Der Beischläfer (The Bedfellow) to launch on Amazon Prime Video in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 2020. It is the latest example of the digital platform commissioning local European content.

His time as a lay judge, however, may change...
