The end is near.
Babylon Berlin, the epic German noir series tracing life in Berlin from the roaring 1920s to rise of the Nazis, has set the date for its series finale.
All eight episodes of the show’s final season will premiere on Sept. 10 on the on-demand platform of German public broadcaster ARD and on air, in two binge blocks of four episodes each, on Sept. 19 and Sept. 25.
The final season is set during the last days of the German republic, from February 1933, just after Adolf Hitler was appointed Reich Chancellor of Germany, through March 5, when, following a violent and murderous campaign against his political opponents, he held elections that would secure his absolute power.
Volker Bruch and Liv Lisa Fries will return to reprise their lead roles as police detective Gereon Rath and assistant Charlotte Ritter for the final, eight-episode arc. Series co-creators and showrunners Henk Handlogten, Achim von Borries and Tom Tykwer return for the final season.
