Bremen in detective fever: Moormann and Selb unleash crime thrills!

There has been a breath of fresh air and exciting investigations in the Bremen “crime scene” since 2021. The dynamic duo Linda Selb and Liv Moormann have taken on the roles of the popular detectives Inga Lürsen and Nils Stedefreund, who left the series after 18 years and 34 cases. Linda Selb, a determined BKA investigator, and the combative police officer Liv Moormann are now investigating in the Hanseatic city, which has been the setting for this TV series since 1973. Both bring their own strong profile and give the team a new touch. According to [Image](https://www.bild.de/unterstellung/tv- Fernsehenformate/tatort-bremen-die-anwalte-moormann-und-selb-im-ueberblick-6290a943277f7042b71a7b55), the Bremen market square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a central location for the investigation and impressively shows the backdrop of the city.

The second detective, Liv Moormann, has fought her way out of a socially disadvantaged childhood and aims to be one of the best investigators in northern Germany. Her unpretentious manner brings a breath of fresh air into the team and inspires many spectators. Linda Selb also impresses with her analytical way of thinking and her stubborn behavior, which is sometimes reminiscent of autistic traits. She lives in a tiny house on the Weser and, before taking on her current role, she had already investigated several cases in Lürsen and Stedefreund's team. In addition, Selb is one of the few official LGBTQIA+ characters in the “Tatort” universe, which gives her character a special depth, informs Wikipedia.

The development of the Bremen “crime scene”

The Bremen “crime scene” has developed significantly over the years. The popular station Radio Bremen is the smallest within ARD and has contributed 40 exciting episodes since the first episode was broadcast in 1973 with Chief Inspector Walter Böck. Back then, the first port of call for murder investigations was “An Ordinary Murder.” In the years that followed, various chief inspectors took over the investigation, including Inga Lürsen, who worked with her partner Nils Stedefreund from 2001 to 2019.

This long-standing collaboration produced some iconic cases. The last episode of the successful team Lürsen and Stedefreund, “Where has my darling gone?”, was broadcast on April 22, 2019. In 2023, Dar Salim, who was originally part of the new cast with his role as Danish police officer Mads Andersen, also said goodbye. The variety within the investigative team brings a breath of fresh air for the audience. Mads Andersen was one of the main actors in three of the first five films before he left the series in September 2023 because his schedule was no longer compatible with filming, as Tatort-Fans describes.

Future of investigators

But what happens next? The fans are excited because both Linda Selb and Liv Moormann have great potential to develop further in the next cases. Liv in particular is still struggling with the aftereffects of her childhood and the resulting trauma, while Selb wants to further distinguish herself as a forensic science expert. While the Bremen “crime scene” traditionally captivates viewers with its exciting stories and strong character development, the two detectives are the focus of a new chapter in the series.

With this fresh cast, the Bremen “Tatort” continues to be an important element on German television. The combination of emotional stories, successful characters and the picturesque backdrop of Bremen await fans with curiosity to see what happens next in the coming episodes.
