“Zeit Verbrechen” was already released at the Berlinale

The series premiered at the Berlinale in March and promptly received the German TV Crime Award for best crime series. Despite these early successes, the release was up in the air for a long time, as Paramount+ said goodbye to international projects such as “Zeit Verbrechen” and Turmschatten (which ended up on Sky). Now, however, RTL has confirmed that the series will start on RTL+, although an exact start date has not yet been announced.
