Actors Sabine Postel and Oliver Mommsen, who have played detectives in the popular ARD crime series "Tatort" set in Bremen, are set to leave the show. The duo announced that they will depart after completing five additional films, with their final episodes expected in 2019.
Postel and Mommsen have been a staple of the Bremen "Tatort" episodes for several years, portraying Commissioner Charlotte Lindholm and her colleague Frank Dittmer respectively. Their partnership has been a key element of the series' storylines during their tenure.
"Tatort" is one of Germany's longest-running and most successful crime dramas, with different city-based teams producing episodes for decades. The departure of Postel and Mommsen marks the end of an era for the Bremen installment of the series.
Broadcaster ARD has not yet announced plans for replacing the actors or continuing the Bremen storyline. Fans will have the opportunity to see the pair in five more films before their exit.
