Overview
- The episode was shot on location during the 62nd Munich Security Conference from February 13–15, 2026 at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, with the on-site work now completed.
- Ferdinand Hofer and Carlo Ljubek were nearly detained during a security check because their character names were not accredited, a mix-up resolved once they identified themselves as BR film crew.
- Bayerischer Rundfunk authorized only a small team to work inside the venue, creating an unpredictable set where real politicians could unexpectedly enter shots.
- The case, working title 'Der sichere Tod,' is directed by Lancelot von Naso and features Roman Knizka, Sophie von Kessel, and Swedish actor Björn Bengtsson.
- The plot centers on an interpreter’s apparent accident that becomes a murder investigation set against the conference backdrop, with broadcast on ARD planned for 2027 and marking the duo’s second joint case.
