In the comedy series SOFTIES, Damian Hardung, Samir Salim and Oskar Redfern take on the leading roles of a trio of men in their mid-twenties who are trying to break out of their old patterns and become modern men amidst the pressure to perform, self-doubt and dishonorable one-night stands. Not so easy if you’ve never learned to deal with your emotions, let alone talk about them. All five episodes will be available to stream on RTL+ from June 6, 2025.

The series concept comes from Jonathan Westphal and Yves Guillaume, both from the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF, who will also be directing the series. The female leads will be Carmen Redeker as Lotte and Aysha Joy Samuel as Linda. Regine Zimmermann takes on the role of Ophelia.

Eike Adler, Producer UFA Fiction: “With SOFTIES, we are creating a series that deals with the question of masculinity in an honest and humorous way. It is incredibly inspiring to work with young talents like Jonathan Westphal and Yves Guillaume, who bring this story to life with their fresh and creative energy. My special thanks go to Julian Schmelcher and Hauke Bartel from RTL, the whole team behind the camera and our great cast. I am sure that with this fantastic team we will create something unique.”
