Last Tattoo with Janneke and Brix in Frankfurt's Rearview Mirror
The popular "Tatort" duo of detectives Janneke and Brix, portrayed by Margarita Broich and Wolfram Koch, are bidding farewell to Frankfurt's criminal underworld. After a decade of solving cases and over 19 investigations, the duo's final episode is set to air in 2024's second half. The finale sees the characters engrossed in their most intriguing case yet, "Es grünt so grün, wenn Frankfurts Berge blüh'n."
Filming for the duo's last episode has wrapped up, and both Broich and Koch have announced their departure from the series to explore new opportunities. ARD broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk (HR) shared the news, revealing the final Frankfurt "Tatort" episode will see Janneke and Brix solving a tragic case with a police officer's death and a psychologist-turned-suspect, Tristan Grünfels (Matthias Brandt).
The twist: Grünfels becomes the victim's counselor for his relatives, thrusting him into the investigative pair's crosshairs. Although Broich and Koch are moving on, future investigations will continue in Frankfurt and its surroundings. Producers assured fans that the Main metropolis will remain a hub for gripping "Tatort" episodes.
Jörg Himstedt, the series' film producer, thanked Broich and Koch for their long-term contributions to Frankfurt "Tatort," calling their tenure a family affair. "It's been a joy working with them on this iconic crime series," Himstedt remarked.
Broich, reflecting on her decade-long stint as Janneke, shared her sentiments about leaving Frankfurt. "It's so green...we've had a fantastic journey together, and now we're ready to embark on new projects, return to the stage, and spend more time with the grandkids," Broich announced.
Koch, two years her junior, echoed her sentiment, stating, "We've had a fulfilling and unforgettable journey with a breakthrough editorial team that's taken on risky film projects. Now it's time to venture into new territories, and I'm excited about what the future holds!"
