On December 28, 2024, viewers will be treated to two exciting film airings, both premiering at the same time: "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Asterix and the Secret of the Magic Potion." The films offer fun, fantasy, and adventure, presenting audiences with compelling choices for their evening entertainment.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," directed by David Yates, will air on Sat.1 starting at 20:15. This 2016 film delves deep within the Harry Potter universe, following zoologist Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne, as he navigates the magical world of 1926 New York. With magical creatures escaping and causing chaos, Scamander teams up with Porpentina, portrayed by Katherine Waterston, to retrieve his elusive charges before they can wreak havoc on the unsuspecting populace. The film also features notable performances from Ezra Miller and Colin Farrell, among others. Famously shot by Philippe Rousselot and scored by James Newton Howard, the film runs for 160 minutes and entertains audiences with breathtaking visuals and enchanting storylines.
For those who may miss the live airing, Sat.1 provides the option to stream the film online via its platform, ensuring fans can enjoy the adventure from the comfort of their homes. While there won’t be any immediate repeats scheduled, episodes typically become available online shortly after airing.
Meanwhile, across the network on Super RTL, "Asterix and the Secret of the Magic Potion," directed by Alexandre Astier and Louis Clichy, also begins at 20:15. This playful 2018 animated adventure sees the beloved Gaulish warriors Asterix and Obelix accompany Miraculix on his quest for a worthy successor to pass on the secret formula of their famed magic potion, which grants extraordinary strength. The film throws these iconic characters back to their familiar battle against the Romans, who aim to seize the potent recipe.
This film runs for 95 minutes and appeals to audiences of all ages, loaded with humor and action-packed sequences. Fans of the franchise can catch the film on Super RTL, and just like with its counterpart on Sat.1, Super RTL also offers viewers access to its streaming service for those who prefer watching digitally. Unfortunately, no immediate repeat is planned for the film, but usually, viewers can find it available for streaming shortly after the initial broadcast.
With both films airing concurrently and offering distinct styles, audiences are encouraged to decide wisely: will it be the magical creatures of Newt Scamander or the comical escapades of Asterix? Either way, viewers have favorable options as they settle down for their evening entertainment this December 28.
