ZDF crime series ‘Die Toten vom Bodensee’ features protagonist in coma
The 25th installment of the ZDF crime series ‘Die Toten vom Bodensee’, titled ‘Im Schattenreich’, features a major plot development for protagonist Commissioner Micha Oberländer, played by Matthias Koeberlin. During a solo investigation at a former children's home, Oberländer is attacked and stabbed with a sword, leading to a coma.
The episode introduces a surreal element where the commissioner continues to investigate through a dream-like parallel world characterized by recurring chess motifs. This storyline follows a prophecy of his death mentioned in the previous film. The series, which has maintained high viewership since 2014, is scheduled for broadcast on September 7 on ZDF and is available for streaming starting August 31.
Actor Matthias Koeberlin discussed the physical challenges of the role, including filming underwater scenes and portraying a character in a coma. The production involves a German-Austrian collaboration, with segments filmed in locations such as Vienna.
