Personal reasons for reduced screen time

“I feel that she needs me more now,” Müller told the Münchner Abendzeitung; he explained that his mother is increasingly less able to express herself verbally, and they now spend much of their time in silence. “I hold her in my arms more often,” he said. The 26th season. Expected to air in the autumn of 2026, will feature Mohr’s storyline sometimes conveyed via phone calls, ensuring his character remains a vital part of the show even when Müller is not on screen.

Changes in the cast and series continuity

Müller is one of only two remaining actors from the original cast, alongside Karin Thaler. Another departure is that of Marisa Burger, who played the iconic chief secretary Miriam Stockl. Burger announced her exit in early 2026 and has already filmed her final scenes. She is remembered for the catchphrase “Es gabat a Leich,” which translates to “There was a corpse.” Burger joined the show in 2002 and has been a central figure in the series’ 25 seasons. The 25th season aired from March 31, 2025, to autumn 2025, and included 21 episodes featuring her character before her departure.

Marlies Moosauer, the producer of the series, posted a farewell tribute on Instagram, thanking Burger for her 25 years of dedication to the show. Burger has expressed interest in pursuing new professional paths after her exit.

Long-running success of ‘Die Rosenheim-Cops’

Set in Rosenheim, Bavaria, the long-running series has become a staple of German television since its debut in 2002. The show blends crime with humor, often incorporating Bavarian cultural elements. Characters like Mohr and Miriam Stockl have become fan favorites. The show has a loyal following, with its combination of intriguing murder cases and the charm of the Bavarian setting.

The 26th season is expected to continue this tradition, despite the changes in the cast. With Müller appearing less frequently and Burger having already exited, the series will continue with a mix of familiar and new faces, keeping the core spirit of the show intact.
