Filming started in Austria and Hungary on February 20th 2024. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)https://www.satel.at/vienna-game-drehstart-fuer-disney-original-serie/
The Producer and Co-Creator of the six-part series is Bettina Kuhn for Viennese Satel Film, the screenplay written by creator and author Stefan Brunner ("Freud”, Zurich "Tatort”), the director is Hannu Salonen ("Turmschatten”) and Felix Cramer is responsible for the camera. The couture design comes from the hands of renowned fashion designer Susanne Bisovsky.

Synopsis:
While Napoleon Bonaparte is exiled to Elba, kings and crown princes, ministers and spies, noble ladies and mistresses, soldiers of fortune, inventors, artists and concubines celebrate and negotiate in Vienna. Here, the fate of Europe is decided on the dance floor and in the boudoir. Delegations from England, Russia, Austria, France and Prussia played a leading role in shaping the congress – with powerful women who used their influence to steer the peace talks in the right direction. It is a game of luck, money, love and power – the Congress of Vienna behind the scenes!
About Satel Film GmbH
From the dawn of colour television to the streaming age….
In 1971, the former Sascha Film managing director Michael Wolkenstein founds a new film production in Vienna that is to write Austrian film history in the years and decades to come.
With legendary cinema films such as Maximilian Schell’s "Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald” (1979), Peter Patzak’s "Kassbach” (1979), the Academy Award-nominated "38 – Auch das war Wien” (1986) by Wolfgang Glück and Luc Bondy’s award-winning "Das weite Land” (1987), the production baptised "Satel Film” was already able to establish itself as a permanent fixture in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Der Schüler Gerber” (1979) becomes standard repertoire in school classes, the cult series "Kottan ermittelt” (1976-1984) brings zest into the rather dry crime world and "Die Piefke-Saga” (1990-1993) enrages domestic tourism associations and wins the Grimme Prize.
Long-running audience hits such as "Schlosshotel Orth” (1996-2004) and "SOKO Donau/Wien” (since 2005) continue to make Satel Film a guarantor of ratings success in prime time in the new century. Now under the leadership of managing partner Heinrich Ambrosch (since 2007) with "Die Toten von Salzburg”, an award-winning feature film series was created in 2015, top TV films such as "Wiener Blut” (2018) directed by Barbara Eder, the co-production "Lucky Per” (2017, directed by Bille August) and the event two-part movie "Im Netz der Camorra” (2020) with Tobias Moretti (directed by Andreas Prochaska) and its sequel "Der Gejagte – Im Netz der Camorra” (2022, directed by Rick Ostermann) follow on seamlessly.
In 2019, Satel Film will realise the first Austrian Netflix series in co-production with Bavaria Fiction and ORF. "Freud”, directed by Marvin Kren, premieres at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival, wins the Romy for "Best Production TV Fiction” and places in the Top10 of the Netflix charts in 67 countries.
In cooperation with Storyhouse Productions, the event series "Sisi” is developed for RTL+ in 2021, already renewed for season three. And historical material is also part of the current developments: After "Freud”, musical genius "Mozart” is to get his own series, with Martin Ambrosch acting as headwriter.
The series development "1814 – Vienna Game” by producer Bettina Kuhn is dedicated to the Congress of Vienna, this first major European decision in the 19th century, rich in suspense, intrigue, twists and multi-layered character studies.
