Overview
- RTL confirmed on Friday that it has greenlit a further season of Der Lehrer and that Hendrik Duryn will remain attached to the series.
- The decision followed a May comeback that delivered strong audience results, including up to 14.9 percent market share among 14–49 viewers and robust viewing on RTL+.
- The May return consisted of six new episodes made available on RTL+ from May 21, a release strategy that helped drive both streaming and linear performance.
- Duryn has said he would like roughly ten episodes next year, but RTL has not announced an episode count, premiere date, plot details, or which new cast members will return.
- RTL framed the renewal as part of a wider fiction strategy, announcing further continuations such as the mockumentary Shit Show and citing a mix of proven brands and new projects to hold audiences.
