Heino Ferch and Hannes Jaenicke Unite for ARD's New Comedy 'Smeilingen'

The German actors fulfill a long-time wish by starring together as quirky village cops in a fresh sketch-comedy series.

The series 'Smeilingen - Ein Dorf wie Du und Ich' premieres on November 1 on ARD, featuring a mix of well-known German entertainers.
Heino Ferch and Hannes Jaenicke, typically known for dramatic roles, explore comedy by portraying an eccentric pair of provincial police officers.
The show is set in the fictional village of Smeilingen, with a cast that includes Elena Uhlig, Uwe Ochsenknecht, Armin Rohde, and Michelle Hunziker.
The comedy format is described as a new generation of sketch-comedy, with skits embedded in a narrative framework.
Ferch and Jaenicke, who share a friendship and reside near each other in Bavaria, relish the chance to work together in a lighter genre.
