More about the content
Lots of new things at “Soko Linz”! In the fourth season, the new team faces numerous challenges. The two investigators Joe Haizinger (Katharina Stemberger) and Biggi Obergschwendter (Angelika Niedetzky) are already in great demand as “Good Cop, Bad Cop” in episode one. As the new boss, Stefan Pichlwanger (Michael Steinocher) brings a breath of fresh air to the team – and also a little confusion. The murder cases in the fourth season lead, among other things, to the Grottenbahn on Pöstlingberg, the Linz Cathedral and the world of model airplanes. But there are also poisoned cakes and deadly artificial intelligence, killer cows and an exciting case in a tattoo studio. And there are also exciting murder cases to be solved surrounding the entrance exam for medical school and in a rowing club. Things are still going well for the “Soko Linz” team in private life too:
Richie is about to have fatherly joys, Joe and Tom are enjoying their togetherness, Aleks is trying out a long-distance relationship and things are really complicated with Biggi!
The fourth season of “Soko Linz” is a co-production by ORF and Gebhardt Productions supported by Fisa+, Fernsehenfonds Austria and the state of Upper Austria.
