Jürgen Vogel is shooting new episodes of “Beyond the Spree” in Berlin-Köpenick. The Friday evening thriller was a success for ZDF.
New assignments for Jürgen Vogel (54) “Beyond the Spree”. As ZDF announced in a press release, shooting for new episodes of the crime series has begun in the Berlin district of Köpenick. Vogel has been investigating as Chief Inspector Robert Heffler since September 2021, alongside colleague Kay Freund (Seyneb Saleh, 34).
Stress for Robert Heffler, professionally and privately
To start with, Heffler and Freund have to investigate an explosive case: a murder in their own ranks. It’s also getting stressful for the inspector in his private life. His three daughters want to find a new wife for him. But Heffler would prefer to continue his non-binding affair with his boss Katharina Koblinski (Elisabeth Baulitz, 48). Or is there more to do with the head of department?
Shooting will end this month – start of transmission not yet known
The shooting in Köpenick, the “greenest part of Berlin” (ZDF), should end in mid-July, according to broadcaster information. There are no broadcast dates for the new season yet. The broadcaster also did not communicate whether there were four episodes again. The four one-hour episodes of the first season ran on Friday evening, the tried-and-tested second time slot for thrillers.
The ratings for the first season of “Jenseits der Spree” were satisfactory for ZDF. The first case on September 24, 2021 attracted 5.27 million viewers. In episode two it was even 5.36. Towards the end of the season, it went slightly downhill, down to 5.14 million viewers.
