New appointment announced: Rosalie Thomass to assume role as 'Tatort' commissioner in Franconia - Rosalie Thomass assumes role of Commissioner for the "Criminal Scene Investigation" in Franconia
In a thrilling turn of events, 37-year-old actress Rosalie Thomass has announced her new role as Commissioner in the Franconia "Tatort" — a role she gleefully describes as joining "a world-class ensemble." Thomass, who's no stranger to the limelight, has already proven her mettle in various acting spheres, and her newest endeavor seems no exception.
Her acting career took off in 2005, starring in the BR police call 110: "He should be dead" under the direction of Dominik Graf. Her breakout performance earned her numerous award nominations[1]. Since then, she's continued to captivate audiences with a diverse range of roles[2]. From drama to comedy[1], Thomass' versatility is a cinch to see. With her comedic flair essential for the design of the Franconia "Tatort," fans are in for a treat.
Thomass fills the shoes left by Dagmar Manzel, who played Commissioner Paula Ringelhahn since 2015. After a critically acclaimed farewell episode last fall, Manzel seeks to focus more on theater in the future[3]. With Thomass joining the team, it's clear a worthy successor is on the horizon.
The "Tatort" universe, part of ARD, seems ripe for change. With numerous established investigator positions becoming vacant all at once, new talents are being welcomed across regions, including Rosalie Thomass, who will co-develop her character, Chief Inspector Emilia Rathgeber[3]. Filming for her debut is scheduled for the summer.
Multiple "Tatort" Investigators Bid Adieu
Amidst the change, Munich's Miro Nemec and Udo Wachtveitl, who have played Batic and Leitmayr for 30 years, are passing the torch to Carlo Ljubek and Ferdinand Hofer[3]. In Frankfurt, Melika Foroutan and Edin Hasanovic are filming their debut episodes. After the departure of Axel Milberg as Borowski in Kiel, Karoline Schuch steps in later this year[3]. The investigator positions in Vienna remain vacant.
For now, fans will have to wait as Fabian Hinrichs as Felix Voss stars alone in the eleventh episode "I See You" before Thomass makes her debut on "Tatort: Franconia." The wait may be agonizing, but rest assured, Rosalie Thomass' excitement for her new role is palpable.Brace yourselves, "Tatort" enthusiasts, for our newest Commissioner, Rosalie Thomass, is ready to take on Franconia and shake things up! Let the games begin!
