Third 'Alpentod' Film 'Tiefe Schluchten' Premieres on RTL, Streams on RTL+

The launch underscores RTL's strategy of regionally rooted crime dramas.

Overview

  • Veronica Ferres and Tim Oliver Schultz reunite as investigators on an Alpine case centered on a burned hut and a missing tourist.
  • Forensic archaeologist Dr. Marie Sonnleitner finds evidence of an accelerant and blood at the doorframe that does not match the victim.
  • Directed by Felix Herzogenrath, the new installment was filmed back-to-back with a fourth entry in Salzburg, Hallein and the Alpine foreland about six months ago.
  • RTL is rolling out the series as a two-week pairing, with episode four, "Im ewigen Eis," slated for March 24 in prime time.
  • Co-produced with ServusTV and released day-and-date on RTL+, the franchise follows an earlier debut that surpassed three million viewers but lagged with younger audiences.
