Morden in the North: New cases and the last legacy of Hans-Peter Korff!
The popular ARD crime series “Murders in the North” is celebrating a comeback with twelve new episodes, which premiered on November 24, 2025. The weekly episodes can be seen on Monday evenings at 6:50 p.m. and promise exciting stories and deep topics. The focus is once again on the main actors Finn Kiesewetter, Lars Englen, Nina Weiss and Gregor Michalski, who embody the investigators in the north.
The new season revolves around socially relevant questions and deals with difficult topics that primarily affect young people. For example, upcoming episodes will feature a “sugar daddy” who is found dead after meeting a minor. Another case focuses on a bomb attack on a teacher in which a student is targeted by investigators. Secrets within a supposedly healthy family, which dramatically influence the life of a teenager, are also part of the exciting storylines.
An emotional farewell
A special highlight of the season is the episode “The Pole”, which is about the exploitation of foreign nursing staff. This episode will also feature the last appearance of the late Hans-Peter Korff, who was known to many viewers for his roles in series such as “These Drombuschs” and “Großstadtrevier”. Korff died in Hamburg in March 2023, and his death leaves a void in the German television landscape.
Ingo Naujoks describes the series as an emotional melodrama that illuminates interpersonal relationships and the complexity in families and friendships. He emphasizes that “Murders in the North” is less a classic crime thriller and more a reflection of the realities of life.
Looking into the future
In addition to the new episodes, viewers can expect a 90-minute feature film titled “Because you’re evil.”, which will air on January 5, 2026 at 8:15 p.m. This film deals with central questions of guilt and justice, as well as the challenges of the legal system.
