Babylon Berlin is back on free TV. Starting this evening, the new episodes of the popular crime series will be broadcast on Erste. After a jump in time, we meet Charlotte Ritter and Gereon Rath again in the early 1930s, where they are investigating the unstable Weimar Republic during the Great Depression. In this article you will find out the broadcast dates of season 4 and where you can stream all episodes.
How many episodes does Babylon Berlin Season 4 have?
The first seasons of the crime series had eight episodes each, which was then increased. Season 4 consists of 12 episodes. Anyone who thought that the free TV premiere would run for several weeks was wrong. The first shows the entire 4th season in just four days and with changing times. The final runs this Wednesday.

That’s what the new episodes of Babylon Berlin are about
Season 4 sees the series’ first major time jump. While the previous episodes were set in the year of the stock market crash in 2029, we are now traveling to Berlin at the turn of the year from 1930 to 1931. The Roaring Twenties have ended. Street fights, rivalries in the underworld and intrigues of the powerful determine the life of the city, while the economic and political situation in the Weimar Republic continues to worsen.
Gereon Rath (Volker Bruch) smuggles himself undercover in the Nazi organization SA which also brings him into conflict with his confidante Charlotte Ritter (Liv Lisa Fries).
