    The most recent season finale ended after the death of Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann and the Stock market crash in October 1929. Season 4 will skip two years. So much is known:

  • According to a press release from the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW in February 2021, Season 4 is turning “The political and social situation in Berlin from New Year’s Eve 1930/31 until the Stennes Putsch in April of that year.”

    The Cast: Who is Starring in Babylon Berlin Season 4?

    Leading actor Volker Bruch attracted negative attention last year for his support of conspiracy ideologues, as reported by the Tagesspiegel. In an Instagram post that was later deleted, he thanked those involved in an anti-vaccination demo in Vienna, which also included right-wing extremists. So far, the production companies have not distanced themselves and so Bruch will also be seen as Gereon Rath in Babylon Berlin IV.

    Apart from well-known faces like Liv Lisa Fries, Benno Fürmann, Lars Eidinger and Hannah Herzsprung, new stars await us in the cast of season 4. In addition to Mark Ivanier, these include Barbara Philipp, Moisej Bazijan, Ronald Kukulies and Max Raabe.

    When does Babylon Berlin end?

    There are eight novels about Gereon Rath in total, but will there be as many seasons? Judging from the creators, the answer is “no”. The most recent novel uses the Olympic Games in 1936 as a framework, but the series is not supposed to penetrate that far into the rule of the NSDAP and Adolf Hitler. Author-director Achim von Borries explained to the DPA (via SZ):

    If there is a final seasonit would be the first months after the so-called seizure of power before the Reichstag fire.

    Babylon Berlin and Gereon Rath’s serial investigations would thus reach their end point sometime in 1933.

    But now season 4 is coming up. This time the screenplays were written by Achim von Borries, Bettine von Borries, Henk Handloegten, Khyana El Bitar and Tom Tykwer. As always, the trio Tykwer, Borries and Handloegten are directing.
