Marisa Burger openly criticizes a fellow officer in Rosenheim.
It's time to bid farewell to Miriam Stockl, as the 25th season of "Die Rosenheim-Cops" is being filmed in Munich and surrounding areas. Marisa Burger, a long-time cast member since the series debut in 2002, will be departing, marking a significant change in the popular crime show.
Burger's decision to leave wasn't made lightly, as she's eager to tackle new projects. This news has set off a hunt for her successor, as a role in this prosperous crime format remains a coveted opportunity. Igor Jeftic, a fellow cast member since 2009, voiced his surprise at her departure, claiming it's a shock due to the central significance of her character and her exceptional acting skills.
Jeftic's Shock and the Search for a Successor
This cast duo has been a staple on "Die Rosenheim-Cops" for over 15 years. Burger joined right from the start in 2002, while Jeftic hopped on board in 2009. Jeftic shared his surprise about Burger's decision with the ZDF magazine "hallo deutschland". "It's a shock for me because it's about a central figure and a great actress," he shared.
As of now, no official replacement for Burger has been announced. Filming with her will continue throughout the summer, leaving her successor's identity a mystery for the time being. Jeftic expressed his skepticism about finding a suitable replacement: "It will be difficult to find a replacement."
A Shared History: Burger and Jeftic's Theater Roots
It's no coincidence that this duo gets along so well. Burger herself revealed that she and Jeftic are old theatre friends, having known each other since 1994/95. They even attended the same acting school, with Burger slightly ahead of him. Fast forward to the present, and these old pals found themselves in the main cast of "Die Rosenheim-Cops" - but in reversed roles, as Burger put it: "He's now above me and I'm below him in 'Die Rosenheim-Cops'."
Villotti's Preparations for Season 26 and the Future
Who will fill Burger's shoes remains a question for now, but producer Elisabeth Villotti assured that Burger will be available to the crew until fall. Simultaneously, preparations for the 26th season are secretly brewing in the background. Villotti reminded that plans for the following year are also being devised, though she couldn't provide any additional details at this time. As for the casting of a potential "Stockl" replacement, that information remains under wraps.
Meanwhile, actor Younes Tissinte might soon find himself with a continuous role in "Die Rosenheim-Cops". Tissinte has already gained experience as a stand-in for "Miriam Stockl" and filled the role of "Dominik Meis" in some episodes. A decision has not yet been made.
