Tourists and expats nominate Zurich along with Vienna as the uncontested number one city worldwide since years. And with good reason as Zurich does not only convince on economic grounds, but also functions as a creative and cultural platform. It is about time that filmmakers get to know the advantages of Zurich as a film location.
After the fan favourite "The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch" director Michael Steiner and the producers from Zurich based production company Turnus Film AG are teaming up again! This time for a brandnew criminal tv show for Swiss TV SRG/SRF. Filming will take place mainly in Basel, but also in Zurich.
In "Akademie der Detektive" Leo Brand, the ambitious ex-commissioner of the Basel police, founds a detective school out of financial necessity with a unique training concept: he gives his students real cases to solve. The unconventional amateurs approach the tasks in an unorthodox way, they fight each other and are regularly surprised by their teacher's creative solutions.
Production: Turnus Film AG, SRF
Director: Michael Steiner
Filming: November 2021 - February 2022 in Basel and Zurich
While the third season of the popular SRF series WILDER is currently being broadcasted on Swiss television SRF, Rosa Wilder is already investigating for her next case! Filming of the 4th season began on January 11th 2021 where it all began in its first season - in the canton of Glarus and at Urnerboden. The team is successfully braving that pesky pandemic. We are excited and feverish!
In the fourth season, Rosa Wilder returns to her home in Oberwies. There she supports her sick father on the farm, police work should play a subordinate role for a change.

When the village policeman dies under mysterious circumstances, Rosa has to solve the crime - together with her colleague Manfred Kägi, although she doesn't actually want to. During the investigation, the duo is confronted with corruption and family tragedies.
