Sat.1 has been broadcasting the Bavaria Fiction production for three weeks. Are there signs of an extension?
Since October 7th, Sat.1 has been working on its early evening line-up. The private broadcaster has increased the daily dose of series on this day and is now giving the audience an insight into a picturesque village on the Moselle at 6 p.m. Bavaria Fiction (also produces “Storm of Love” or “The Rosenheim Cops”) comes the series “Family for All Cases” about a judge who returns to her homeland with her son, lives there again with her mother and quickly stands between two men.
What’s special about the series: Each episode contains self-contained court cases that take up about half of the broadcast time. Anna Angelina Wolfers, Martin Armknecht, Isabell Varell, Arne Löber, Kai Albrecht and Tayfun Baydar play leading roles in the format. Sat.1 has now broadcast 15 episodes linearly – with still manageable success. In any case, the linear ratings are clearly below the channel average.
What does this mean for the potential future of the series? Unclear. Because: The ProSiebenSat.1 Group not only wants to attract a linear audience with its daily series, but also push the streaming service Joyn. “The Spreewaldklinik”, the daily series that Sat.1 shows at 7 p.m., has secured a place in the top 5 on Joyn. In the past few days, the clinical series has even landed in bronze in the top list published by the streamer itself.
And “family just in case”? Despite the lack of linear success so far, “Family for all occasions” is also regularly found among the top formats at Joyn. On Saturday the series made it to eighth place and was even ahead of the Kabel Eins reboot “Morlock Motors”. Since there is no other Joyn data apart from the ranking, the values are difficult to classify. However, the linear results are only one piece of the puzzle in the overall evaluation. Sat.1 has not yet commented on the future of “Family for All Cases” or a second season of “Spreewaldklinik”.
Sat.1 series material at 6 p.m. secured until summer
One thing is clear: in the coming months, Sat.1 will definitely focus on heart pain Monday to Friday at 6 p.m. Because: A successor to “Family for all occasions” has long been ordered. As at 7 p.m., several series will alternate at 6 p.m. Saxonia Media has been producing the series “Frieda – With Fire and Flame” for several weeks now. Looking at the calendar, it can already be said: This will probably be broadcast from the beginning of February and, with 81 episodes created, will be included in the program until the end of May/beginning of June.
This is what happens in the upcoming Sat.1 format: Frieda (Laura Lippmann), a single-parent intensive care nurse, returns with her 18-year-old daughter Pippa (Natascha Weitzendorf) to the idyllic Liebitz in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland. There she quickly realizes that her homeland needs her more than ever. Her ex-partner and Pippa’s father, Mayor Felix (Christopher Kohn), is planning to close the local fire department – a plan that Frieda, as the daughter of the former fire chief Otto (Andreas Borcherding), does not accept.
