Overview
- The TV film premieres on RTL and RTL+ on January 13 at 20:15, casting Bahro as profiler Armin Weber.
- Preview reporting describes a particularly brutal case and signals links to the investigator’s past without revealing key twists.
- Bahro says he is keen to see whether viewers accept him in the new role rather than seeing Jo Gerner in a different uniform.
- The project, produced by UFA Fiction, is part of RTL’s ‘Tödlicher Dienst-Tag’ push for regional crime titles, with a Lübeck entry slated for January 20.
- In a DWDL interview, Bahro said he pushed to differentiate Weber’s look from Gerner’s, including changes to wardrobe to break typecasting.
