Overview

  • Richter, 67, announced at a Dortmund event that he is scripting a continuation of his role as Kalle Grabowski in a 'Bang Boom Bang' series.
  • The concept originated with his son Max and is being co-written with director Özgür Arslan.
  • Financial hurdles led the team to abandon a theatrical sequel in favor of a compact mini-series format.
  • Richter says the new episodes promise the same comedic tone that made the 1999 Ruhrpott classic an enduring cult hit.
  • The project is slated to arrive on streaming platforms before the end of 2025.
