Two farewells and the first new one from episode two
But the first new colleague joins in the second of the eight new episodes. Reuther and chief inspector Kerstin Klar (Fiona Coors, 50) receive support from chief inspector Julia Schröder (Anika Baumann, born 1979) in the case of “Im Totenforst” (January 20).
In the end, however, Commissioner Klar will say goodbye to break new ground, according to the broadcaster. Fiona Coors was the main inspector Kerstin Klar from the start of the series. She leaves at her own request. “18 years is a long time,” says the Bavarian by choice.
“My recent milestone birthday made me realize that it was time for something new.” And actor Max Hemmersdorfer (37), previously in action as Chief Inspector Max Fischer, wants to “face new challenges” following 23 crime episodes in Wiesbaden. He’s back in the first episode of the new season.
Back to Anika Baumann, so in the future she will be seen as “experienced, quick-witted chief inspector Julia Schröder”. She says regarding her new role in the series: “I’m very happy, especially since I’ve already got to know the team through an episode role and I’m very familiar with the region.” Born in Frankfurt, she lives in Mainz and is engaged at the State Theater there. In the February 2017 episode “Headwind” she played a witness.
