Til Schweiger was last seen in 2020 in a new “Tatort”. The NDR does not seem to be in a hurry with further issues.
It’s been almost nine years since Til Schweiger (58) was seen for the first time as Nick Tschiller in his own “crime scene”. The film “Tatort: Willkommen in Hamburg” was first broadcast in March 2013. The last episode with Schweiger (“Tschill Out”) was shown in early 2020. Since then it has become quiet about Tschiller. And that is apparently not going to change in the near future either.
“Nothing concrete in hand yet”
“We haven’t got anything concrete yet, but we’re not in a hurry either,” explains a spokesman for the NDR of the “Bild” newspaper. According to this, the North German Broadcasting Corporation is currently not planning any shooting of a new Tschiller “crime scene” for the current year 2022. And it is apparently not yet clear whether the film will be shot in the coming year: “We cannot currently answer whether there will be filming for a new Schweiger ‘crime scene’ in 2023.”
At the beginning, a real fundamental discussion about Schweiger’s version of the Sunday thriller germinated: Should the “Tatort” series continue to write its success story in the good old tradition of German thrillers or should it be a little more action? Schweiger said at the time that he did not want to do a classic detective thriller. The so far last Tschiller part “Tschill out” was much quieter and slower and marked a kind of restart. When it could go on with this is therefore still open.
