SOKO Potsdam Launches Season 8 on Monday, Centering Its Female Lead Duo

The ZDF crime series emphasizes a team-first ethos with playful, affirming humor between investigators.

Overview

  • The new season begins Monday, January 5 at 18:00 with the episode titled “Nachts im Wald.”
  • Anja Pahl, on the series since 2021 as Kriminalhauptkommissarin Tamara Meurer, leads alongside Agnes Decker, who joined in 2022 as Pauline Hobrecht.
  • Pahl says she distinguishes investigators by experience rather than gender and stresses that cases are solved as a team.
  • Decker highlights the duo’s banter and credits Pahl with modeling humor that lifts colleagues instead of demeaning them.
  • The premiere opens with a man found shot under a hunting stand as the case touches on poaching, illegal dumping and an affair.
