Popular Crime Series 'Morden im Norden' Returns for Eleventh Season

The long-running German TV show explores themes of aging and isolation in its latest storyline while introducing new characters and challenges.

'Morden im Norden,' a crime series set in Lübeck, begins its eleventh season with 16 new episodes airing on Mondays at 18:50 on Das Erste.
The first episode, titled 'Die letzte Bestellung,' delves into themes of loneliness and mortality as the detectives investigate the murder of a man found weeks after his death.
Main characters Finn Kiesewetter and Lars Englen, played by Sven Martinek and Ingo Naujoks, face generational shifts and technological challenges, aided by a new police psychologist, Yasmin Ahmadi.
The series, known for its lighthearted origins, now balances its trademark humor with more reflective and melancholic undertones.
Sven Martinek, who spends winters in Mallorca, and Ingo Naujoks reflect on their personal experiences with aging, which parallel themes explored in the show.
