Front-runners for the main characters in the upcoming production
The long-running German television crime drama, "Tatort", is set to undergo a significant change with the retirement of Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser in 2027. As the Vienna-based duo prepares to bid farewell to their roles after four more cases, the public is being given a chance to voice their preferences for the new investigators through the oe24 voting.
The voting process has narrowed down the potential frontrunners for the male lead role. Nicholas Ofczarek, known for his investigative abilities showcased in the dark crime series "Der Pass", is currently leading the pack. Tobias Moretti, who has previously appeared in various TV productions as a law enforcement officer, is in second place, while Gregor Seeberg, a former "SOKO Donau" investigator, is close behind in third.
For the female lead role, Nina Proll is believed to be the front-runner, having garnered significant support from viewers. She is closely followed by Ursula Strauss, known for "Schnell ermittelt", and the "Buhlschaften" duo, Brigit Minichmayr and Verena Altenberger, who are tied for third place.
Brigit Minichmayr and Verena Altenberger are no strangers to the "Tatort" series, having previously appeared in various episodes. Nina Proll, on the other hand, is a fresh face in the series, but her performance in the "Tatort" pilot has left a lasting impression on viewers.
The outcome of the oe24 voting may influence the casting decisions for the new lead roles in the "Tatort" series. However, as of mid-2025, no official announcements have been made about the replacements for Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser.
Despite the uncertainty, one thing is clear - the "Tatort" series will continue after the retirement of the veteran actors. The initial results of the oe24 voting show a trend for the future investigators, but the final decision rests with the ORF.
As the countdown to the retirement of Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser begins, fans of the "Tatort" series eagerly await the announcement of their successors. Until then, the oe24 voting provides a platform for the public to express their preferences and contribute to the future of the series.
Movies-and-TV shows like "Der Pass" and "Schnell ermittelt" have featured some potential frontrunners for the new lead roles in the "Tatort" series, with Nicholas Ofczarek and Nina Proll currently leading the pack in the oe24 voting. Entertainment platforms also allow viewers to follow the progress of the voting process, keeping fans engaged and offering a sense of participation in the selection of the next investigators for the long-running German crime drama.
