Overview
- RTL officially announced on Friday that it has commissioned another season of Der Lehrer and confirmed Hendrik Duryn will remain in the lead role.
- The series returned in May with six new episodes and delivered strong audience figures, cited by RTL as up to 14.9 percent market share in the key 14–49 group.
- All six comeback episodes were made available early on RTL+ before linear broadcast, a release strategy that boosted on-demand viewing and helped the renewal case.
- RTL has not disclosed a premiere date, episode count, plot details, or which new cast members will return, though Duryn has said he would like roughly ten episodes next year.
- The renewal is one element of a wider slate move by RTL that also greenlit titles such as Shit Show and several crime and legacy-franchise continuations, signaling a strategy to combine revivals with new projects.
