ZDF Pushes ‘Der Bergdoktor’ One Week as Olympics Take Prime Time

Live Olympic coverage prompted the schedule change, with the new episode already available to stream in ZDF’s Mediathek.

Overview

  • The planned broadcast on Thursday, February 12 did not air, with the episode “Am Anschlag” now set for Thursday, February 19 at 20:15.
  • ZDF reassigned the slot to live Winter Olympics coverage from Milan and Cortina, though one outlet cited carnival programming as the reason.
  • Viewers can watch the postponed episode in the ZDFMediathek, where “Am Anschlag” and “Verbotene Früchte” are available early and the finale “Wiedersehen” streams from February 26 at 10:00.
  • The linear schedule resumes weekly on February 19 and 26, with the Season 19 finale airing on March 5.
  • After the finale, ZDF debuts the new series “Einfach Elli” on March 12, and media reports indicate a 20th season of “Der Bergdoktor” is in planning for an anniversary.
