German television updates: Nord bei Nordwest and Der Quiz-Champion

German television is seeing significant updates to popular programming. The crime series ‘Nord bei Nordwest’ is celebrating a milestone with its 30th episode, scheduled to air on August 27. Lead actor Hinnerk Schönemann has indicated that the romantic tension between the main characters will remain unresolved, noting that a ‘happy end’ for the protagonist would likely signal the end of the series.

Additionally, the ZDF quiz show ‘Der Quiz-Champion,’ hosted by Johannes B. Kerner, is returning to a weekday time slot starting September 23. The upcoming season features a two-part format where contestants compete against five experts in various fields for a 100,000 euro prize. The show has recently maintained high viewership, with August broadcasts attracting over 3 million viewers.
