After a Decade: ‘Rosenheim Cops’ Star Anna Ewelina Returns to the Series

More than 23 years have passed since the premiere of Rosenheim Cops, the beloved Bavarian crime-comedy series that has captivated audiences with its unique blend of humor and intrigue. Now in its 24th season, the show remains a favorite among fans. Adding to the excitement, a familiar face is set to return, bringing an element of nostalgia and fresh intrigue to the series.

Who is Making a Comeback? German-Polish actress Anna Ewelina is set to reprise her involvement in Rosenheim Cops, a move eagerly anticipated by her fans. This announcement comes as no surprise to those who follow her career, as she previously shared on her website: “This summer, I will once again be in front of the camera for Rosenheim Cops (ZDF).”

Ewelina’s television career began in 2006 with the RTL soap opera Unter uns, followed by notable roles in Die Anrheiner and Um Himmels Willen. She has also made appearances in acclaimed series such as SOKO München, Der Bergdoktor, Rote Rosen, Hubert und Staller, Tatort, Polizeiruf 110, and Sturm der Liebe. In 2020, she expanded her international presence by joining the cast of Amazon Prime’s Hunters, starring alongside Al Pacino and Udo Kier.

A Look Back at Anna Ewelina’s Debut in Rosenheim Cops Ewelina first appeared in Rosenheim Cops during the 329th episode, which aired on November 10, 2015. She played Lisa Berger, a character entangled in a holiday-themed mystery. Despite the festive storyline, filming took place during the sweltering summer months—an amusing contrast the actress fondly recalls. In Nikolaus ist tot (Santa Claus is Dead), her character finds herself at the center of an investigation involving a murdered city councilor dressed as Santa Claus. As details unfold, an affair between Berger and the victim is revealed, raising questions about her possible involvement in the crime.

What Role Will She Play in Her Return? While fans may have hoped for a reprise of Lisa Berger, Ewelina will instead portray a new character, Elisabeth Krause. Despite the change in identity, some intriguing similarities remain. Once again, her character is closely connected to the murder victim, this time her colleague, Isabell Wanninger. The plot thickens when it is revealed that Krause had switched shifts with Wanninger shortly before the crime took place. Is she in danger herself? Or could she even be the perpetrator? Further complicating the case is a missing, highly valuable piece of jewelry—one that Krause may have found irresistible.

When Will Anna Ewelina Appear on Rosenheim Cops? Ewelina’s much-anticipated return will take place in the 21st episode of the 24th season, titled Schöne Bekanntschaften (Beautiful Acquaintances). The episode is scheduled to air on March 11, 2025, at 7:25 p.m. on ZDF. For those eager to get an early look, it will be available for streaming in the ZDF media library starting March 4, 2025.

As Rosenheim Cops continues to entertain and surprise audiences, Anna Ewelina’s return adds another layer of excitement. Fans can look forward to an engaging episode filled with suspense, drama, and the signature Bavarian charm that has made the series a standout success.
