NEW EURO TV SERIES & SEASONS
Cassandre: Season 6 (France)
This crime drama series follows Florence Cassandre (Gwendoline Hamon, Fatal Reunion, Perfect Murders), a devoted mother and skilled cop who left Paris for a new job as the police chief in the town of Annecy, located in the beautiful Haute-Savoie region, in order to be near her son. In the Season 6 opener, the townspeople are gearing up for the Annecy City Cup, not just the most important regatta in the region but an event that attracts tons of tourists and brings in beaucoup money. What could throw a damper on it, though, is the death of a teenager found aboard a sailboat that was deliberately torched. (Video is from Season 5)
Costarring Alexandre Varga (Pacific Criminal), Dominique Pinon (Delicatessen), and Jessy Salomée Ugolin (Love and Trouble in Paris), Cassandre: Season 6 premieres Tuesday, March 3.
Gerri (Italy)
Set in Puglia in the historic port city of Trani, this crime drama stars Giulio Beranek (Christian) as Gerri Esposito, a brilliant inspector of Romani origin who grew up in foster care. Now in his 30s, Gerri still hasn’t come to terms with his past, which, along with his unconventional investigative methods, affects his relationships with his colleagues. They include Lea Coen (Valentina Romani, La porta rossa), the new deputy inspector who just transferred here from Rome; by-the-book Chief Santeramo (Massimo Wertmüller, The Vertical Line); and fellow inspector Roberto Calandrini (Lorenzo Adorni, Kostas). In the series opener, Gerri investigates the murder of an influential lawyer’s teen daughter, who was found dead on the beach. (The trailer is in Italian. To read English subtitles, turn on closed captions (CC) and, under settings, set the subtitles/CC to “Italian (auto-generated) >> English.”)

Codename: Annika (Finland)
In this Nordic spy thriller, the first mission for still-in-training detective Emma Haka (Sannah Nedergård, The Sandhamn Murders) is within Stockholm’s corrupt fine art scene. The typically calm-and-collected Emma transforms herself into the wild and fiery Annika Stormare in order to get close to Rasmus Ståhlgren (Ardalan Esmaili, Snabba Cash), a gallery own who’s a suspect in a case against Blanko, a major money launderer. The deeper Emma gets in the mission, the more lines start to blur between herself and her legend…

Tatort: Vienna: Season 4 (Austria)
This long-running crime drama series, another in the Tatort franchise, centers on the criminal investigations of Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer, Murder by the Lake), a rather rough and gruff but intuitive detective, and his sensitive partner, Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser, Donna Leon’s Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries), of the Vienna Police’s murder squad.

In charge of the investigation is Captain Mathilde Delboscq (Joyce Bibring, Camilla Läckberg’s Erica), who tries to figure out if Odile is a killer, a liar, a femme fatale, or simply a stay-at-home mum who’s always had to fight to survive. For Mathilde, this could be the case of her career or maybe even of her life. (The trailer is in French.

Regardless, this sets in motion a series of events that will have consequences for the entire family when their secrets come to light.
