Overview
- Sat.1 announced on Monday that schlager singer Beatrice Egli will for the first time play a fictional character when she appears as Céline Huber in the new series Die Landarztpraxis — Team Sonnenhof.
- The broadcaster describes Céline as a warm Swiss friend of Lilli Lamminger whose arrival conceals a secret that will drive several episodes of the Sonnenhof storylines.
- The spin‑off produced by Filmpool premieres Monday, June 29 at 19:00 on Sat.1 and Joyn, and Sat.1 says Egli’s guest arc will begin airing in late summer over multiple episodes.
- The cast includes Pina Kühr and Nina Schmieder and the project expands the existing Die Landarztpraxis franchise into the early‑evening slot.
- Sat.1 and Egli frame the casting as both a personal career step — Egli previously appeared only briefly as herself on shows like Unter Uns and Sturm der Liebe — and a programming move to attract more linear viewers to the struggling Vorabend lineup.
