MunichTatort’ Duo Batic and Leitmayr Bow Out at Easter as Festival Honor Announced

Their exit caps a 35‑year, 100‑case run watched by hundreds of millions.

Overview

  • The farewell story, titled “Unvergänglich,” airs as a two‑part finale on Easter Sunday and Monday (April 5–6) at 8:15 p.m., with a tense case set deep under the city framing the detectives’ final days before retirement.
  • The Deutsches FernsehKrimi-Festival will present Miroslav Nemec and Udo Wachtveitl with its honorary prize on May 3 in Wiesbaden’s Caligari FilmBühne.
  • At the Munich film school premiere last week, Bavaria’s interior minister handed the actors symbolic police retirement papers in a ceremonial send‑off.
  • The actors plan contrasting farewells during the broadcast, as Nemec hosts a viewing party in Istria while Wachtveitl skips watching and later asks friends how it landed.
  • Continuity is set for Munich’s slot in the crime franchise, with Ferdinand Hofer and Carlo Ljubek already having shot two new films whose air dates are still to come.
