Get ready for an exciting new episode of the crime-comedy series "Miss Merkel," airing on RTL and available early on RTL+. This 90-minute long episode, titled "Miss Merkel - A Cruise Ship Crime," promises to deliver a thrilling mystery set on a luxurious cruise ship.
The series follows a fictionalised version of Angela Merkel, the former German Chancellor, as she relocates to a small town with her husband and pug, Helmut. In this new role, she discovers an unexpected talent for detective work. Katharina Thalbach portrays the character based on Merkel in the series.
