Overview

  • One of her final cases, "Über die Grenze," aired on August 30 on ZDF in prime time.
  • Two already-shot installments with Mandoki are slated to run through 2026 before her departure.
  • She cites added prep time and new summer shoots under the expanded slate as the practical trigger for leaving.
  • Mandoki describes an emotional but amicable farewell, saying the last day on set felt like moving out of home.
  • Her near-term lineup underscores the push for variety, with RTL’s Miss Merkel on September 2 and ZDF’s Petra geht baden on September 28, alongside comments on limited TV roles for older women and instances of unsolicited guidance from older male colleagues.
