Roaring into 'Tatort' Franken: Rosalie Thomass, the New Chief Inspector
Rosalie Thomass to Assume Commissioner Role - Rosalie Thomas assumes Commissioner position
Go big or go home! That seems to be the motto for the upcoming season of 'Tatort' Franken, as the renowned Bavarian Broadcasting announces a fresh addition: none other than the talented Rosalie Thomass (born 1987) will be stepping into the role of Chief Inspector Emilia Rathgeber. The actress didn't shy away from expressing her excitement, affectionately referring to her latest gig with typical Franconian charm.
This powerhouse collective will be headlined by Rosalie Thomass, with Fabian Hinrichs (born 1974) continuing to work his detective magic as Chief Inspector Felix Voss. The team will also include Commissioner Wanda Goldwasser, played by Eli Wasserscheid (46), and Dr. Kaiser, portrayed by Stefan Merki (1963). Local talents Matthias Egersdörfer (55) and Lisa Sophie Kusz (1984) will continue lending their expertise to the team.
A Solo Act Before the Big Debut
There's no rest for the wicked, as they say, and it seems our newcomer will have to hit the ground running. The recently concluded eleventh 'Tatort' installment, titled "I See You," will see Fabian Hinrichs as Felix Voss investigating alone. The episode, shot in November and December 2024, is set to air in autumn 2025.
With Felix Voss out of the way, Rosalie Thomass will make her highly-anticipated debut in the twelfth Franconia 'Tatort.'
The Investigator with a Steel Heart and Roots to Show
Bettina Ricklefs, BR's program director for drama, film, and series, has nothing but praise for the up-and-coming star: "We couldn't be more thrilled to have an exceptional actress like Rosalie Thomass joining our 'Tatort' Franconia team." As for the new commissioner, she teases: "Her portrayal of Chief Inspector Emilia Rathgeber is going to embody an investigator with strong, grounded roots, and a honest heart that beats wildly for justice."
Rosalie Thomass, for her part, is just as optimistic: "I couldn't be more excited about this opportunity to help build my character from scratch. With my inquisitive, lively, and empathetic Emmy, I'm ready for many thrilling adventures. I believe Franconia is going to feel like a second home for both of us."
From Cult Comedy to High-Stakes Crime
This powerhouse actress is no stranger to accolades. Having made her film debut in 'Emily Will Die' (2003), Thomass has gone on to captivate audiences with her diverse performances. She made her mark on German television with 'Polizeiruf 110: He Should Be Dead' (2005) by esteemed director Dominik Graf (1952).
Later, Marcus H. Rosenmüller (1971) took notice of the burgeoning talent and cast her in his trilogy, 'Best Time,' 'Best Region,' and 'Best Chance.' In recent years, Thomass has shown off her comedic chops in films like 'Eine ganz heiße Nummer' (2011, 2019) and Doris Dörrie's 'Greetings from Fukushima,' earning her the Bavarian Film Prize in 2016 and a nomination for the German Film Prize.
Her most recent credits include roles in 'Die Känguru-Chroniken,' 'Mordnacht,' and 'Was man von hier aus sehen kann.' In December 2025, she will appear as Barbara Blocksberg in the new 'Bibi Blocksberg' film, and in 2026, she'll bring the bestseller adaptation 'Lügen über meine Mutter' to life on the big screen—a project she's penned the script for herself.
