Due to current events, the start of the new season of “Bezzel & Schwarz – The Border Crossers” has been postponed. This time it’s about Bavarian rivers.
The sixth season of the successful TV series “Bezzel & Schwarz – Die Grenzgänger” (since 2019) would have started today, Monday (June 3). For the six new episodes, the two Eberhofer crime stars Sebastian Bezzel (53) and Simon Schwarz (53) travelled along six Bavarian rivers. In the second episode about the Isar, they visit the water rescue service in Landshut and are rescued from the river by volunteers in bright sunshine…
Due to current events, the broadcaster is postponing the broadcast of the season, as a spokeswoman confirmed to spot on news.
In a corresponding statement from the broadcaster, it also says: “The six new episodes of the popular documentary series with Sebastian Bezzel and Simon Schwarz revolve around the topic of rivers and primarily highlight the beautiful sides and the value of the Lech, Isar, Main, Danube, Inn and Altmühl, which is currently not appropriate given the catastrophic conditions in many districts and the current plight of many people in the Free State.”
Replacement program and new broadcast date
Instead, Bayerischer Rundfunk will broadcast a “BR24 extra” on the topic “Bavaria continues to fight against the flood of the century” in the slot after the “Tagesschau” from 8:15 p.m. An edition of “Farm Stories – Farming between the Alps and the Baltic Sea” will then be broadcast from 8:45 p.m. The episode “The Farrier with the Mini Donkeys” will be shown.
The station will broadcast the new “Grenzgänger” season about Lech, Isar, Main, Danube, Inn and Altmühl “probably every Monday at 8:15 p.m. from July 8th”.
In the BR media library The films have been available since last Wednesday (29 May), i.e. before the current floods in southern Germany.
