Lavish Weimar Republic-era series, Babylon Berlin, has been renewed for a fifth and final series.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Volker Bruch and Liv Lisa Fries will return to reprise their lead roles as police detective Gereon Rath and assistant Charlotte Ritter for a final eight-episode arc set in February 1933 as the Nazis finally seize power in Germany. The season will be based on Volker Kutscher’s fifth Gereon Rath novel, The March Fallen.Â
A spokesperson for the show said: “In the final season of Babylon Berlin we put February 1933 under the magnifying glass: Rarely has a society been torn apart more radically in such a short period of time than Germany in this chaotic month.
Not only Gereon Rath and Charlotte Ritter, but all our protagonists must realize that they only have a few options left: Subordinate themselves, risk their lives in open opposition, retreat into inner emigration or flee into exile. However, this decisive month also opens the possibility of changing the course of history at the last second.”
It looks likely that the series will appear, once again, on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
More news as we get it.
The Killing Times 
This is fabulous news if it actually happens. With the collapse of Sky Deutschland drama, this did not seem to be a possibility. Now, if they could do the same for Das Boot, all would be good.
