RTL is set to unveil two new episodes of “Behringer und die Toten – Ein Bamberg-Krimi” starting March 18, 2025. The show continues the tradition of the channel's “Tödlicher Dienst-Tag” with compelling mysteries that promise to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The episodes will air on consecutive Tuesdays at 20:15 on RTL, featuring “Antoniusfeuer” and “Romeo,” which dive deep into the dark narratives of crime solving. In “Antoniusfeuer,” the team faces a chilling mystery, unraveling the significance of a bloody inscription discovered in the tunnels of Bamberg, while a bald murder victim adds to the intrigue. The second episode, “Romeo,” brings the drama to an elite private school where a beloved teacher is run over during an open house, pushing the police to navigate a sea of suspects and pressures.
For those unable to catch the episodes live, RTL+ offers viewers a chance to stream the episodes one week prior to the TV broadcast. This means fans can get an early taste of the suspenseful storytelling before it officially airs.
“Behringer und die Toten” revolves around the character Kommissar Behringer, portrayed by actor Antoine Monot Jr., who is known for his compelling performances in shows like the 2014 remake of “Ein Fall für zwei.” Alongside him is Ela Jenning, played by Cosima Henman, and a robust supporting cast that enriches the narrative with their characters' intertwining relationships. The show also features Jessica Ginkel as Anne Loncar and Jonas Laux as Sebastian Loncar, who share a complex personal history intertwined with the investigations.
As the series progresses, viewers meet characters like Ole Loncar, portrayed by Maximilian Kaiser, and Charly Behlke, played by Wanda Perdelwitz. Oskar Keymer plays Oscar Renner, rounding out the talented main cast.
The upcoming episodes promise not just suspense but a keen exploration of personal stakes against the backdrop of intricate plotlines. In “Antoniusfeuer,” the investigation into the mysterious bloody inscription forces Behringer and his team into the historically rich milieu of Bamberg's brauerei culture while confronting dark legends that have haunted the area.
Meanwhile, “Romeo” dives into a tense setting filled with pressure as an LKA colleague heightens the stakes for Behringer while Ela goes undercover as a teacher in a bid to gain insights from the elite school community.
Both episodes were filmed over a two-month period from August 21, 2024, to October 30, 2024, with distinct locations enhancing their atmospheric storytelling.
