Crime authors require authentic storylines, according to Sabine Postel

In the world of German television, the legal drama series 'Die Kanzlei' continues to captivate audiences with its social and political engagement. Actress Sabine Postel, known for her role as Commissioner Hilde Müller in the series, is currently evaluating the ongoing crime boom and the role of 'Die Kanzlei' in this landscape.

Originating from the 2005 series 'Der Dicke', 'Die Kanzlei' has made a significant impact, with the second standalone film expected to air around the turn of the year 2025/26 under the title "Weites Land". However, there is no explicit documentation or widespread media coverage about the socially engaged author of the series or their involvement in this upcoming project as of mid-2025.

Sabine Postel, now 71 years old, is an artist associated with the series. She believes that the crime format still offers the opportunity to tell stories that reflect society. Postel notes a trend for many crime couples to break up, leading to actors leaving and being replaced. Viewers, she says, have to get used to changes in the crime format and cannot just "dock on".

Thorsten Näter, the scriptwriter for "Die Kanzlei" since its inception, is known for his thoroughly researched and realistic stories. He emphasizes the importance of using the freedom in the crime format responsibly. Näter often chooses cases from newspapers for his scripts, reflecting contemporary societal issues.

The sixth season of "Die Kanzlei" set a new viewer record with an average market share of 18.7 percent in March. The series has tackled socially relevant issues like the refugee crisis, demonstrating its commitment to addressing real-world concerns.

While details about the author's involvement in "Weites Land" may not be widely known, the second standalone film is undoubtedly an exciting prospect for fans of the series. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is recommended to check official press releases from the series producers, the author's personal or professional social media and websites, or German media outlets covering TV and film developments.
