'''''Worldfire''''' is a Mascyllary {{wp|historical fiction|historical fictional}} {{wp|drama}} series developed and crafted by Ulrich Weber, David Gensicke, and Frank Herding, based on the 1998 novel ''[[Worldfire#Plot|Red and Blue]]'' and the short stories ''[[Worldfire#Plot|Able Archer]]'' and ''[[Worldfire#Plot|Guardian]]'' by Joseph Gesden. It was produced by Elpian for a season in 2017, thereafter canceling it and Prism picking it up for an continuation of the now "original series".
The series is set amidst the {{wp|nuclear weapon|nuclear}} high-tide confrontation between the [[Cuthish State]] and [[Mascylla]] during the midst of the [[Great Game (Aurorum)|Great Game]] in the 1970s. The story revolves around a disparate group pf politicians, freelancers, and civilians, [[Government of Mascylla|Mascyllary trade minister]] Jonas Wieser (played by Erich Dünge), [[Cuthish State|Cuthish]] diplomat Theodore Auliffe (Pesze Luvin), nuclear physicist Kathrine Göhren (Rebecca Nielsen), and [[Assembly of Nations|AN delegate]] Herbert Werand (David Weiß), dealing with the threat of war and trying to prevent {{wp|nuclear armageddon}} through every means possible, unraveling and maneuvering conspiracies, lies, and betrayal in both governments, and ultimately putting the fragile peace and the survival of humanity alltogether at stake.
''Worldfire'' has frequently received acclaim by critics, highlighting its political narrative, character development, and multiple, intertwined story lines. The pilot episode aired on 3 August 2017, and Elpian, its original producer, ordered a ten-episode season which was released in late January. Prism shortly after picked up the series production, with another ten episodes premiered in August 2018. On March 27, Prism renewed ''Worldfire'' for a feature-length eleven-episode long third season.
