Verena Altenberger says goodbye with the “Police call 110: Paranoia”. The broadcaster has now announced the broadcast date and content.
With “Polizeiruf 110: Paranoia” by Swiss director Tobias Ineichen (58), Verena Altenberger (35) takes her hat off as Munich commissioner Elisabeth “Bessie” Eyckhoff. The Bayerischer Rundfunk has now announced the broadcast date for their farewell thriller. Accordingly, her sixth and last case runs on June 11 at 8:15 p.m. in the first.
Her first thriller, Police Call 110: The Place Where the Clouds Come From, aired in September 2015. The Austrian actress and the broadcaster made it public in the summer of 2022 that she would quit her job in the Sunday crime format.
Farewell words to “Bessie”
But not only the fans have to say goodbye to “Bessie” after four years, the actress also says goodbye to her role:
“Bessie, I’ll miss you,” the broadcaster quotes Altenberger’s greetings to the Munich investigator. And further: “You are so wonderfully strange, you think in interesting ways and you take the time you need. You are friendly to people, you are interested in all these life plans out there and you feel honest with people. The good and the bad. Although you probably wouldn’t really divide it into good and bad. In honest and in driven maybe. In steadfast and unreliable… Oh, I’ll miss you.”
At the end, Altenberger thanks her character: “Thank you for letting me get to know you […] Thank you Bessie for everything and goodbye, you mean a lot to me.”
