Overview
- The six new episodes became available on RTL+ on Thursday, May 21, and will be shown on linear TV on Thursday, May 28.
- Hendrik Duryn reprises his role as Stefan Vollmer and serves as the series’ familiar anchor while the supporting cast was largely replaced.
- Filming took place in Leipzig and the surrounding area and the story relocates Vollmer to a chaotic local school facing acute staffing shortages.
- Each episode focuses on a major social issue affecting students—examples cited by coverage include child poverty, bullying, loneliness, mental-health struggles and a teen pregnancy.
- Duryn said he returned because the show 'must be' and praised the slower development process this time, while RTL’s streaming-first rollout reflects a broader strategy for established TV brands.
