The European Football Championship and the Summer Olympics will mean a slightly longer “Tatort” and “Polizeiruf 110” summer break this year.
This year, Sunday crime fans have to spend a whole eleven weeks waiting for new “crime scenes” and “Police call 110″ films are being dispensed with, last year there were nine weeks. As the station confirmed when asked by spot on news, the “Polizeiruf 110: Funkensommer” from Munich will be with Chief Detective Cris Blohm (Johanna Wokalek, 49) and her colleague Dennis Eden (Stephan Zinner, 49) will be the last premiere before the summer break.
“The last Sunday crime thriller premiere is expected to be broadcast on May 26th according to the current planning status and is a BR ‘Polizeiruf 110’,” the station said.
European Football Championships and Olympic Games
Then there are the two major sporting events whose broadcasts have priority in terms of broadcast dates: The men’s European Football Championship will take place in Germany from June 14th to July 14th. A good ten days later, the Summer Olympics start on July 26th in the French capital Paris and last until August 11th. “There are no plans for first broadcasts on the Sunday crime drama slot during the Summer Olympics,” the broadcaster said.
If there are no games or competitions on Sundays at 8:15 p.m., Sunday crime reruns are conceivable as usual, but nothing concrete is currently known about this. The same applies to the one Sunday without sporting events between the two major events. It is also not yet clear what will be shown on July 21st at the 8:15 p.m. time slot.
It is also certain that the first new “Tatort” or “Polizeiruf 110” will be broadcast on August 18th.
