ZDF Delays 'Erzgebirgskrimi – Mordholz' TV Premiere to March for Handball Coverage

Viewers can watch the new case immediately on ZDF-Mediathek.

Overview

  • The Jan. 24 slot has been given to Germany’s second main‑round match at the Handball European Championship, and the episode is now scheduled for March 7, 2026 on ZDF.
  • 'Mordholz' is already available to stream in Germany via ZDF-Mediathek.
  • As the 14th installment, it marks the penultimate joint case for Robert Winkler (Kai Scheve) and Karina Szabo (Lara Mandoki), centering on a wood baron’s death and suspected timber theft around Annaberg-Buchholz.
  • Two additional films in the series have been completed without announced air dates, and the next entry, working title 'Hexenjagd', is expected to be Mandoki’s final appearance after her previously announced departure following episode 15.
  • ZDF made a similar change last year when the episode 'Wintermord' was postponed to accommodate international handball coverage.
