Crime Scene Stars Change Genre: Crime Heroes Conquer the ARD Comedy "With and Without Simone"

Adele Neuhauser, known as the unique Bibi Fellner from the Vienna Tatort, Axel Milberg, our Kiel investigator Klaus Borowski, Karin Hanczewski, the Dresden Chief Inspector Karin Gorniak, and Petra Kleinert, who has shone in various Tatort episodes, come together for a brand new ARD comedy. The title? "With and Without Simone." And it promises to be really funny!

This is what the new comedy is about

Imagine this: Simone, played by Adele Neuhauser, and Walter, portrayed by Axel Milberg, have been married for 40 years. The love? Rather mediocre. The money? Tight. The house? A construction site. In short: They simply can't afford a divorce. Then a competition comes just in time: They are looking for the "happiest and most loving couple, pure of heart." The prize? A hefty cash prize that could solve their worries. So the two decide to bring out their best acting skills and pretend to be the perfect couple.

Family drama guaranteed: When the daughter returns

The already complicated situation becomes even more chaotic when daughter Valerie, played by Karin Hanczewski, announces she is moving back into the parental home. Suddenly, Simone and Walter want to win the competition even more—and maybe, just maybe, save their marriage after all. Will it work out? We'll find out at the earliest in 2027. By the way, filming has been underway since June 24 and is expected to be completed by the end of July.

What's next for the Tatort stars

For Tatort fans, this is a double announcement: Adele Neuhauser and her colleague Harald Krassnitzer will be leaving the Vienna Tatort, with no successor yet known. Axel Milberg already laid down his role as Klaus Borowski in Kiel in March of this year. Karin Hanczewski also had her last case as Dresden Chief Inspector in February. So it's an exciting time to see these faces in completely new roles.

These actors complete the comedy

In addition to the well-known Tatort faces, other talented actors are involved, who will add extra flair. Look forward to Lili Winderlich, Victoria Nikolaevskaja, Petra Morzé, Miriam Hie, Roland Koch, Sabine Herget, Sibylle Kos, and Romeo Kaltenbrunner.

We are already super excited to see how these crime professionals will fare in the unfamiliar comedy roles. Will they be able to captivate us even without murder cases and investigations? This will be revealed in 2027 on ARD. Mark the date in your calendar, because this will be a TV highlight!
