Pierre M. Krause Discloses Malignant Tumor in ‘Kurzstrecke’ Comeback

New episodes are now streaming, with a 24-part seventh season set for a January 9, 2026 TV launch.

Overview

  • Krause said persistent back pain led to the discovery of a malignant tumor that was surgically removed after a life-threatening diagnosis.
  • He reported that bone was taken out during treatment and that he is recovering with nerve damage, significant weight loss, physiotherapy, and the use of crutches.
  • He has not revealed the cancer subtype or whether he is fully cured.
  • Krause emphasized he does not want to be labeled a “tumor survivor” and plans to decline talkshow invitations about his illness.
  • The seventh season of Kurzstrecke began on ARD Mediathek and YouTube on October 30 with biweekly releases, featuring guests including Sebastian Pufpaff, Bastian Pastewka, Laura Larsson, and Micky Beisenherz.
