Trivia / Das Boot (2018)

• Sequel Gap: The series is a sequel/spin-off to the 1981 film and came out 37 years after the latter.
• Sequel in Another Medium: The original film was theatrically released, even though it did get a Re-Cut as a miniseries in 1985.
• Typecasting:
  • Thomas Kretschmann joined the cast in Season 2, and he is no stranger to playing World War II German soldiers in period pieces (Stalingrad (1993), Downfall, U-571, Stalingrad (2013) and many more).
  • Ditto Ulrich Matthes in the same season (Downfall as well, The Ninth Day, A Hidden Life, Munich - The Edge of War, etc.)
