With the thriller “Hagen Benz”, ARD wants to take its TV viewers into the story of a supposedly unsolved case.
Hamburg – Hamburg is currently being transformed into the setting for an ARD thriller, which attracts attention thanks to the participation of well-known actors such as Heiner Lauterbach and Julia Koschitz. At the center of the action is the film “Hagen Benz”, a project that takes viewers into the depths of human abysses and unsolved mysteries. Whether the film will be as dark as the “Oderbruch” series on ARD remains to be seen.
