Fan favorites Freddy Schenk (Dietmar Bär) and Max Ballauf (Klaus J. Behrendt) return again in Tatort: Cologne Season 5, which is comprised of episodes that originally aired in Germany from April 2013 to March 2018. Also back for further investigations are chief prosecutor Wolfgang von Prinz (the late Christian Tasche) and Medical Examiner Joseph Roth (Jo Bausch), along with Freddy and Max’s trusted assistant Franziska Lüttgenjohann (Tessa Mittelstaedt). Although the chemistry between our leads remains undiminished, time is beginning to catch up with Max and Freddy as these new episodes take on a more somber and serious tone than many of their previous cases, as you may notice in the trailer…
Tatort: Cologne Season 5 streams July 29th, 2025 on MHz Choice.
Note: Fans of Thiel and Boerne – do not fret! Tatort: Münster Season 2 will premiere in September!
