Fridays are now all about dance and competition! This year, the stars will be strutting their stuff on Germany's most prestigious dance floor. Who has what it takes to become the new "Dancing Star 2025"? It's anyone's game, as long as they can win over the "Let's Dance" jury consisting of Motsi Mabuse, Joachim Llambi, and Jorge González. The live shows will be hosted by the ever-entertaining duo of Daniel Hartwich and Victoria Swarovski in 2025.
The three of the Mullbfuhr - protection money, the prosecutor, and the Bourne conspiracy - are tangled in a deadly close web of deceit and danger. The Kurdish joint owner, Momo, is subjected to exorbitant extortion by local gangs, reluctant to involve the authorities due to his ethnicity. In truth, the operator behind the Bourne conspiracy remains elusive, even as Bourne himself battles residues of his past in Naples.
