The MDR is saying goodbye to "Polizeiruf 110" from Halle after three episodes. The crime series with detectives Henry Koitzsch (Peter Kurth) and Michael Lehmann (Peter Schneider) was planned as a trilogy from the outset and will therefore end with the third episode in 2026, said MDR program director Jana Brandt. There are currently no plans for a follow-up project.
The investigative duo was launched in 2021 to mark the 50th anniversary of the "Polizeiruf" series. The script was written by Leipzig-based author Clemens Meyer and directed by Thomas Stuber. The last film, entitled "Der Schlüsselmacher", is due to be shot this year.
