On November 12th, the second season of the successful comedy series "Der Beileeper" (since 2020) starts on Amazon Prime Video. judge dr. Julia Kellermann (Lisa Bitter, 37) ensures justice at the district court, while alderman Charlie Menzinger (Markus Stoll, 42) must first ensure that her transfer to the fictional town of Wamperschwang in the Bavarian province is reversed so that they can work together again can.
In an interview with spot on news, Lisa Bitter tells, among other things, what the viewers should know from season one of the series "Besides" and whether actor Markus Stoll (42) is as grumpy on the set as his fictional character Harry G. She also gives a little preview of the upcoming "crime scene". Her information about the AI heart project is no less scary.
What should viewers know about the first season of "Beileecher"?
Lisa Bitter: Dr. Julia Kellermann is the professional judge, Charlie Menzinger her difficult judge. The two of them don't get the fact that it's crackling at first, so my urgent advice: watch season two!
What is the charm of the series?
Bitter: The series is characterized by a very affectionate view of Munich and the Bavarian way of life - rude sayings and crude jokes shouldn't be missing, of course. At the same time, a fine comedic series was created. It was probably this mix that wowed the audience the most.
What do you like most about your role?
Bitter: I like the perceived straightforwardness of her character. Their world view consists of legally sound bills of law. By meeting Charlie, this order is shaken up nicely. Playing this is crazy fun.
How do you like the styling of your role?
Bitter: I looked forward to every day of shooting in judge's robes. I like work clothes. As an actress, that gives me an extra layer, because in real life, for example, a robe functions like a costume, it is linked to a function, with a certain charisma. I had a lot of fun dealing with it in a playful way.
What's it like behind the scenes with Markus Stoll? Is he grumbling like he was Harry G?
Bitter: Working with my colleague Markus Stoll also means having a lot of laughs behind the scenes. There can be no talk of "grumble". We both enjoy playing together and squabble between takes.
The second season begins with you ending up as a judge in the countryside of Wamperschwang. Where do you prefer to live and/or work, in the city or in the country?
Bitter: I find a good mix ideal. What I enjoy and also need about city life is the cultural offering. Right now, after the pandemic with its lockdowns, I'm looking forward to cinema, theatre, exhibitions and concerts - I have a great longing for these things. At the same time, I am very happy about the proximity to the foothills of the Alps and the mountains. I am a passionate hiker and need the peace and quiet on the mountain to come to and switch off.
"The verdict against Zipfizoaga-Willi was impeccable," it says in episode one of the new season about an exhibitionist - you were born in Erlangen. Do Bavarian sentences like this one in the screenplay cause you difficulties?
Bitter: A really "cheered Bavarian" doesn't cause me any problems. I find dialects very interesting, you learn a lot about the respective race if you listen carefully. Bavarian is warm and bold - a successful mix for me.
Julia Kellermann's ex-boyfriend Nico von Bloom (Jens Atzorn) suddenly reappears this season. He wants to have changed and wants to revive the relationship. Do you believe that people can fundamentally change?
Bitter: I do believe that you can work on yourself and change your behavior. That means making clear decisions and being consistent, which is certainly not always easy. We are constantly changing anyway, due to external and internal factors. That's why I think it's important to keep a close eye on one's own canon of values and adjust them if necessary. Basically, I'm optimistic.
Will there be a season three? Are there enough ideas?
Bitter: There are enough ideas. The figures in the series are very flexible and anything but told. A third season would make us all happy.
Your role in the Ludwigshafen "Tatort" team, which you have been part of since 2014, is also not mentioned. When can your fans expect the next thriller in the first and what can you reveal about the content?
Bitter: Our next "crime scene" is expected to run in spring 2022, but there is no exact broadcast date yet. I'm really looking forward to the film, it's going to be a dark thriller. A very brutal murder has to be solved, Lena Odenthal [Ulrike Folkerts, ed.] and Johanna Stern [Lisa Bitter] are running out of time to prevent a second murder... Nothing for weak-nerved viewers, I can reveal that much!SpotOnNews
