Overview
- Sat.1 has confirmed new episodes of Richter Alexander Hold will air this year and says production is already underway.
- Filmpool Entertainment began shooting in August at Bavaria Studios and the production has circulated at least one promotional photo of Hold in the judge’s robe.
- The broadcaster commissioned both daytime/early-evening episodes and a separate primetime special, but it has not given exact broadcast dates.
- Hold, who is vice president of the Bavarian Landtag and a Freie Wähler member, calls the TV work a “Ferienjob” and says filming during the sitzungsfreie Zeit will not affect his parliamentary role.
- The revival follows a wider trend of early-2000s TV judges returning to German screens and taps a familiar format that previously ran from 2001 to 2013 with roughly 2,038 staged cases.
