Greta had set her heart on appearing in a format made with children for children, and that wish has come true!
KiKA and the production company eitelsonnenschein have begun shooting in Cologne on a fiction series about neurodiversity, with Greta playing the role of Clara in "GONG! – Mein spektakuläres Leben" (working title).
At the heart of the series is the everyday life of ten-year-old autistic Eileen, who is facing a school trip: an absolute nightmare. Before departure, Eileen urgently needs a best friend to see it through with her. That, however, is not so easy when there are so many rules about how you go about making friends with someone in the first place. In her search, Eileen meets Fred, Clara (GRETA CASPARY) and Gabriel. Each in their own way, the four grow together as a group of friends and set off together on the great adventure of the residential school trip.
"GONG! – Mein spektakuläres Leben" (working title) from autumn 2023 on KiKA.
