Chief Inspector Nick Tschiller apparently prefers to chill: There probably won’t be any more “crime scenes” with Til Schweiger and Fahri Yardim.
Til Schweiger (60) and Fahri Yardim (43) last investigated the “crime scene” together as investigator duo Nick Tschiller and Yalcin Gümer more than four years ago. Schweiger now explains that crime fans will probably no longer see any new cases from the two chief inspectors.
“I don’t bother with the ‘crime scene’. I actually never watched it until I did it myself,” explains Schweiger to “Bild”. According to the daily newspaper, he had looked at some of them and no longer wanted to issue his own copies. “There were a few good ones – but a lot of not so good ones,” says the actor and director.
According to the report, there are supposedly two episodes left in the contract, but Schweiger explains: “It’s been a long time since we planned to continue.” Even the responsible NDR and ARD are “no longer in the mood,” as the Tschiller actor believes.
Yardim would probably be there, but no rush at NDR
When asked by the news agency spot on news, the NDR editorial team had already indicated in March 2023 that there would be no silent “crime scene” at least in the near future: “We don’t have anything concrete in hand yet, but we’re also in no hurry.” No filming was planned for last year and it was not yet possible to say at this point whether filming would take place in 2024.
Schweiger’s last crime novel to date alongside Fahri Yardim, “Tschill Out”, ran at the beginning of 2020. If Nick Tschiller (Schweiger) wanted to investigate with Yalcin Gümer (Yardim) again, he would probably be there immediately. “Til has a forever fixed place in my heart, no matter how much we can fight each other ideologically,” said Yardim spot on news in the summer of 2022. The two had “drifted apart a bit recently and I haven’t heard anything about them for a long time “belongs to the ‘Tatort’ makers”. Yardim was definitely up for another crime adventure, he said at the time: “I would really like to shoot up Hamburg again.”
Between 2013 and 2020, Schweiger and Yardim were deployed in a total of six cases, including the film “Tschiller: Off Duty”.
