Overview
- Prominent cast members Marisa Burger, Christian K. Schaeffer and Isabel Mergl have left the long‑running ZDF series, a change confirmed in late May 2026.
- Sarah Thonig's character Christin Lange is being moved from the reception desk into the police secretariat, creating the vacancy at the show's information desk.
- Ursula Maria Burkhart, who plays Marianne Grasegger, said she will be joined at the reception by a 'young man' and production has signalled that a familiar face will return to the role.
- Actor Maya Haddad is reported to join the cast as Yasmin Rabe and will take over running the series' bar 'Das Rosi', replacing the on‑screen function previously held by Christian K. Schaeffer.
- Filming for season 26 began on April 16 and includes 24 episodes slated for broadcast in autumn 2026, a lineup change that will alter longtime on‑screen relationships and feed into ZDF's broader early‑evening programming reshuffle.
