Breitkirch 2 - The Saga Continues!

After the hugely successful first season, the Deutsche Fernsehen is now back with ZDF-Hitshow Breitkirch's  SEASON 2 !

From the network we all know and love for producing classics of Deutsches Fernsehen like Arzt Wer and Übernatürlich:

Expect more mysteries, heartbreaking destinies, terrible secrets and the past catching up with our favourite characters in this large scale production with celebrities all over the cast - both recurring and newly joining high-profile actors, actresses and guest stars!

Welcome back to the nation's second favourite couple of detectives, right after Hubert und Staller: We return to the East Frisian Kleinstadt of Breitkirch with Julia Koschitz as Elli Müller and Christoph Maria Herbst as Alex Hartig - but wait! Why, you ask, doesn't this read Oberinspektor Hartig?

The 2nd season starts right where season 1 left off: Our protagonists know now that Josef Müller (Jürgen Vogel) killed Dani Sörensen, but will they need to prove it in court? And what did the devastating news do to the once so idyllic town of Breitkirch?

We see Elli, who has been degraded and is now a mere Verkehrspolizist, and her former boss, Bavarian police officer Alex Hartig, who due to health issues was forced to step away from active duty and is now in charge of the Jungbullen.

Next to many familiar faces, there are also lots of exciting new ones, with an A+ casting that will leave absolutely nobody disappointed:

Firstly introduced are Nora Tschirner and Markus Lanz as Klara and Leander Aschenwert - but who are they and why are they only now joining the Breitkirch community?

New cast members: Markus Lanz and Nora Tschirner as Leander and Klara Aschenwert.

More splendid new members of the cast are Senta Berger as Joseline Ritter and Barbara Becker as Scharon Bischof, two attorneys and former colleagues who have just not yet seen the last of each other - but where does their rivalry come from? And how are their respective junior barristers, Abi Tomasson and Ben Heuwald, portrayed by celebrity guest-starring comedian and blogger Hazel Brugger and former YouTube sensation Phil Laude, involved?

The courtroom team at work: Phil Laude as Ben Heuwald, Senta Berger as Joseline Ritter, Barbara Becker as Scharon Bischof and Hazel Brugger as Abi Tomasson (from left to right).

We also finally dig deeper into Alex Hartig’s background and get to know his family: Ex-wife Tess (Carolin Kebekus) and daughter Desiree (the latter being portrayed brilliantly by Lilli Schweiger)! But not only that, we also learn more about the case that left him traumatised and lead him to Breitkirch in the first place: At last, we get to unravel the mysterious case of Sandbrück!

The not-so-happy family of the detective: Christoph Maria Herbst reprising his role as policeman, but now also as a father, with Lilli Schweiger as daughter Desiree and Carolin Kebekus as Ex-wife Tess.

In Sandbrück, another small town a little further from the coast of the Wattenmeer, as we know from season 1, two girls have disappeared, 12 year old Pippa Gruber (Emma Schweiger) and her older cousin Lisa Neuberger (Luna Schweiger). But what happened to them, and why is Pippa's father Richi Gruber (Daniel Brühl) so interested in getting Alex Hartig off the case? And what does his Ex-wife Kati (Jessica Schwarz) have to say about it? Join us for season 2, and find out!
