The corona pandemic caused interruptions during the shooting, but the "crime scene" replenishment is said to be secured.
In the meantime, the corona pandemic had brought many filming to a standstill. "Tatort" fans do not have to worry, however: According to current planning, "enough films will be available by the end of the year," explains Volker Herres (62), program director for First German Television, in an interview with "Bild am Sonntag". "The two episodes of the crime scene from Munich and Dortmund for the 50th anniversary will also be completed according to the current status." Regardless of the "crime scene", there should also be "no repeat wave", Herres said. "In the meantime, thank God, many projects are being shot again – under special hygiene and clearance rules".
For the "Tatort" summer break this year, the first came up with something special. In the "Tatort" anniversary year, viewers can vote which eleven thrillers will be broadcast on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. from June 21 to August 30. "The selection list consists of the 50 'crime scene' thrillers that have been particularly successful with the public over the past 25 years," says the broadcaster. Voting for the first desired "crime scene" starts on Sunday, June 14th.
