New Trailer Arrives for Generation War Before Series Finale this Saturday on BBC Two

One of the most exciting drama shows on BBC is Generation War, and the show that has been called the German Band of Brothers will come to an end on Saturday, May 10, 2014 on BBC Two. A new trailer for the show has been released by Arrow Films previewing the episode and announcing the upcoming release of the series DVD/Blu-ray box set that will release on Monday, May 12, 2014. Read on and check out the trailer below to get ready for the show's finale!


Generation War begins in Berlin, during the summer of 1941, as Hitler steps up his assault on the Soviet Union.

Five friends say their farewells, with the promise of meeting again after the war, which they are convinced will be over by Christmas. Little do they know how long it will last, nor how the unfathomable experiences, deprivations and terrors will change their lives forever.

While BBC Four’s Saturday night slot is well known for its success with the genre, Generation War is BBC Two’s first subtitled television acquisition since 2001. The channel-leap further embodies the strength of the UK’s love for foreign-language drama, which continues to grow.

Following in the footsteps of hit BBC Four programs The Bridge, Borgen and The Killing, Generation War looks set to open up the genre to a whole new audience.

Each of the three individual episodes will also be available via iTunes the morning after they have aired on BBC Two. The full season pass can be purchased from iTunes from April 27th, and each new episode will automatically be delivered to the purchaser’s account as soon as it becomes available.
