New episodes of “SOKO Leipzig” will start on ZDF on September 9, 2022. The broadcaster announced this. According to the announcement, the new season will consist of 28 episodes. There have only been so many episodes in the crime series that has been running since 2001. The ninth season, which started in autumn 2008, still holds the record with 31 episodes. In the last two years there were “only” 22 or 23 episodes to watch.
The slot for “SOKO Leipzig” remains the same as usual. Chief Inspector Ina Zimmermann and colleagues start their investigations on Fridays at 9:15 p.m. The main cast also remains unchanged. As since episode one, Melanie Marschke (52, as Ina Zimmermann) and Marco Girnth (52) aka Jan Maybach are there. At her side, Kim Novak (played by Amy Mußful, 31) and Moritz Brenner (Johannes Hendrik Langer, 37), who joined the team in 2019, are investigating.
In the first episode “Unheard” a Leipzig city councilor is murdered. The woman who called 911 came under suspicion. She can’t remember anything. The first of two new double episodes is scheduled to run just two weeks after the start. The 90-minute films are called “Run If You Can” and “Blind Spots”. Incidentally, the new episodes are available in the ZDF media library one week before the TV broadcast.
ZDF will shorten the waiting time for the new episodes of “SOKO Leipzig” from August 5 on Fridays with the true crime series “XY solved”.
