On Sunday, the “Tatort” investigative duo Boerne and Thiel with 13.46 million viewers for the episode “MagicMom” still got the best rating of the TV year – the people from Münster are already working on the new case again. According to ARD, the shooting of “The Man Who Fell into the Jungle” has begun.

For the 44th film with Jan Josef Liefers (58) and Axel Prahl (62), the makers were able to win a top-class guest star: Detlev Buck (60). The actor and director (“Men’s Pension”, “Bibi and Tina”) plays the writer Stan Gold. The bestseller returns from the Paraguayan jungle to its home city of Münster. There, born as Hotte Koslowski, he was once a classmate of Commissioner Thiel – and nothing indicated a successful career.

Hotte, alias Stan Gold, is now appointed city clerk of Münster. He can only enjoy the late triumph for a short time because he almost dies of anaphylactic shock. Boerne can just save him.

For Detlev Buck it is the first guest role in a “crime scene”. In 2021, however, he staged “Tatort: ​​Everything comes back” as a director. Maria Furtwängler (56) determined in Hamburg under doubles of Udo Lindenberg (76).

Filming in Münster, Cologne and the surrounding area will continue until the end of March. The film is scheduled to be broadcast later this year, but there is no specific broadcast date yet.
