Edin Hasanovic Balances Growing Career in Acting and Late-Night Hosting

The Bosnian-born entertainer prepares for his 'Tatort' debut while reflecting on his journey and critiques of the migration debate.

Edin Hasanovic, known for his roles in 'Im Westen nichts Neues' and Netflix's 'Spieleabend,' will debut as a 'Tatort' investigator this fall in Frankfurt.
His ZDFneo late-night show, 'Edins Neo Night,' returns for its second season this week, featuring a mix of interviews, comedy, and musical performances.
Hasanovic, who fled Bosnia as a child during the war, critiques the current focus of migration debates on nationality and religion, calling it unfair and politically driven.
He acknowledges the challenges of hosting, noting that early criticism of his show deeply affected him but has since shifted his approach to be more relaxed and guest-focused.
The actor views his inclusion in 'Tatort,' alongside co-star Melika Foroutan, as a meaningful representation of Germany's diverse society.
