In the realm of television, "Stralsund" star Sophie Pfennigstorf makes a splash with her debut as the gripping Inspector Jule Zabek in the beloved ZDF series. After taking over from Katharina Wackernagel, Pfennigstorf revealed her delight in being the "new girl" in the crime series during her first outing, "Stralsund - Tote Träume."
Pfennigstorf's second stint as Jule Zabek in December 2023 sees her continuing to investigate as the "novice detective," reassuring her fans that their favorite crime thriller remains as captivating as ever. Shot alongside the series' fifth and sixth films this winter, the actress confided that she has finally established herself within the series, thanks to positive collaboration with her colleagues.
The debut of the relaunched "Stralsund" series received a dream rating of 5.15 million viewers. Pfennigstorf, known for her modest nature, shared that she enjoyed the production process and appreciated the enthusiastic reactions from viewers, without harboring excessively high expectations.
In the pressure-cooker environment of the crime genre, Pfennigstorf acknowledged the challenge of maintaining consistent performances as Jule Zabek. Despite the inherent pressures, she remains focused on delving deeper into her character while staying adaptable and committed to her precise standards.
Experiencing strong, courageous characters and passionate storytelling sets "Stralsund" apart from other crime series on television. Pfennigstorf mentioned that she personally enjoys "Stralsund" for these reasons, but she isn't typically drawn to crime thrillers in her personal life.
International projects, such as "The Team" and "Homeland," have provided Sophie Pfennigstorf with opportunities to extend her experiences beyond Germany. Though she hasn't yet considered embarking on a Hollywood career, she is thrilled to explore new environments and collaborate with diverse casts while working on international productions.
As glittering productions like "Stralsund" anticipate a strong finish this holiday season, Pfennigstorf looks forward to returning home for Christmas. With a journey to Sri Lanka behind her, she is eager to spend quality time with her loved ones around the festive table.
Pfennigstorf's perspective on her experiences in 2023 reveals a sentiment of gratitude, humble introspection, and a sense of adventure. Sharing her hopes for 2024, she envisions a year of intriguing roles, collective responsibility concerning climate change, and the wellbeing of her nearest and dearest.
