ZDF offers free 'Sheep' series in Mediathek as Prime‑only 'Glennkill' alternative

The German public broadcaster ZDF has added the comedy series “Sheep” to its Mediathek, making five episodes available for free to viewers aged 12 and up. The show follows a herd of talking sheep that discovers the truth about humans’ perception of them.

“Sheep” is positioned as a free alternative to the “sheep‑crime” film “Glennkill,” which remains exclusive to Amazon Prime Video. “Glennkill” has earned strong audience ratings – 4.6 out of 5 on Prime and 7.4 out of 10 on IMDb – and was listed among Germany’s ten most‑watched films as of 25 July. The ZDF release highlights how platform rights shape viewer access in the German market.
