Premiere Serie was a German television channel which broadcast television drama series.

It had its origins in "Herz & Co", a channel dedicated to soap operas launched in 1996 with the DF1 satellite package. When DF1 became Premiere World in 1999, the channel was rebranded and became "Sunset", a broader channel dedicated to television series.

The channel became "Premiere Serie" in its final form in 2002 when Premiere reorganized their channels. The new channel took content from both the old Sunset channel as well as Premiere Comedy and Premiere Scifi.

Many popular American drama series had their German television premiere on the channel, including Lost, Desperate Housewives, 24 and Medium.

In October 2008, the Fox Channel was launched on the Premiere platform and took over the space used by Premiere Serie. The channel was simultaneously closed down.
