Economic crime or relationship offence? The mysterious death of a young woman found on the Kiel Fjord turns out to be an extremely complex case - and poses a tough test for the new TATORT team in Kiel.

In the double episode UNTER FREUNDEN/UNTER FEINDEN, Mila Sahin (Almila Bagriacik) is supported by a new investigator from Berlin, Anna Nowak (the episode's lead role is played by Lilith Stangenberg). Police psychologist Elli Krieger (Karoline Schuch) not only plays a key role in the personnel changes. In addition to the aforementioned actors, Sven Schelker, Thea Ehre, Sascha Gersak, York Dippe and Hildegard Schmahl also appear in front of the camera.

The TATORT double episode will be filmed in Kiel and other locations in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg until 15 December. It is expected to be shown on two consecutive Sundays in 2026 on ARD and in the ARD media centre.

UNTER FREUNDEN/UNTER FEINDEN is directed by multiple Grimme Award winner Lars Kraume. He also wrote the two screenplays - together with Katharina Adler, Rudi Gaul and Patrick Brunken. For Kraume, it is a direct follow-up to the NDR TATORTE with Axel Milberg as Klaus Borowski: his last case, TATORT: BOROWSKI UND DAS HAUPT DER MEDUSA, was also directed by Lars Kraume. This crime thriller will have its premiere next year on ARD and the ARD Mediathek.

Producers for NORDFILM are Kerstin Ramcke and Sabine Timmermann, the production is supported with funds from MOIN Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein.
