Overview
- Burger confirms the currently airing 25th season will be her last on the series at her own request.
- She will share the lead in Kleine Verbrechen unter Liebenden with Jan Sosniok, with rehearsals beginning in the coming weeks and a Feb. 27, 2026 premiere at Hamburg’s Winterhuder Fährhaus.
- The engagement marks a move north as she returns to stages in Hamburg and Berlin after long-running work in Bavaria.
- In public remarks, she said episode shoots have fallen from 12 days in 2000 to about 6.3 today, reflecting tighter budgets and less creative breathing room.
- She also described fees that have barely risen, low entry pay for younger actors, and capped honoraria in the early-evening slot, noting the decision to leave was difficult and discussed at length with her husband.
