MunichTatort’ Says Goodbye to Batic and Leitmayr After 35 Years

The exit clears the way for a new Munich team debuting later this year.

Overview

  • AR­D’s two-part send-off concluded Monday and marked the 100th and final case for Miroslav Nemec and Udo Wachtveitl as the long-running Munich duo.
  • The finale leaned into contemporary crime tools, using AI-driven identification and encrypted phones to frame a broader investigation without dwelling on backstory.
  • Bayerischer Rundfunk confirmed the handover to Kalli Hammermann and Nikola Buvak, whose first film together, titled Zwischenwelten, is slated to air in 2026.
  • BR said no continuation or spin-off is planned at this time, yet it left the door open for future appearances with a cautious “never say never.”
  • Part one drew about 6.6 million viewers on Easter Sunday for a 28.3% share, and strong social media reaction showed both nostalgia for the veterans and curiosity about the next chapter.
