Overview
- BR airs the first three episodes on October 28 at 22:00 and the remaining three on October 31 from 22:50, with all six available in the ARD Mediathek from October 28 to November 27.
- The show is a six-part adaptation of Tommy Krappweis’s Böse-Nacht audio plays, produced by bumm film with Krappweis as showrunner and Erik Haffner directing.
- After premiering on Paramount+ in July 2023, the series was removed during cost cuts, later resurfaced on MagentaTV, and now reaches Free-TV and ARD streaming.
- Krappweis says a second season is unlikely soon and would require an overwhelmingly strong Mediathek performance, though talks have touched on self-contained films or miniseries.
- Michael Kessler leads a cast including Bettina Lamprecht, Bettina Zimmermann, Peter Ketnath, Jürgen Tonkel and Axel Milberg in a 6x45-minute mystery blending Bavarian folklore, modern crime and dark humor.
