Franken 'Tatort' Sets New Co-Lead as ARD Repeats 'Hochamt für Toni' Tonight

ARD is bridging the transition with a rerun now followed by a Voss solo case ahead of an expected 2026 launch.

Overview

  • Rosalie Thomass has been cast as Kriminalhauptkommissarin Emilia Rathgeber to partner Fabian Hinrichs in the Franken edition.
  • Industry reports say Thomass filmed her first case in July 2025, yet her on-screen debut does not have a confirmed airdate.
  • The reconstituted duo is expected to premiere in 2026 according to current reporting from industry outlets.
  • ARD is airing a repeat of the Franken episode Hochamt für Toni on Sunday, 24 August 2025 at 20:15, revisiting a case linked to Felix Voss’s past.
  • Producers will roll out one new Franken film this autumn without Thomass and plan a one-off solo episode for Voss as a bridge after Dagmar Manzel’s 2024 departure.
