Hooey! There’s a bunch of new stuff headed to MHz Choice in November, including four brand-new titles and new seasons of viewer-favorite series.
Without any further ado, the full MHz Choice schedule for November is as follows:
Alexandra Ehle: Season 2 (France)
This delightful mystery drama returns with a new season starring Julie Depardieu (Captain Marleau) as Alexandra Ehle, the brilliant, quirky coroner at the Bordeaux Forensic Institute, who devotes herself completely to what she considers her mission: restoring dignity to the dead and giving them justice (Video is from Season 1)
Alexandra Ehle: Season 2 premieres November 5.
Reindeer Mafia (Poromafia) (Finland)
The Best Drama Series winner at the Finland Television Academy’s 2024 Golden Venla awards, this darkly comic Nordic crime saga, styled à la the Coen Brothers, follows a fractured family embroiled in a power struggle over the vast estate of their once-powerful, now-deceased matriarch.
The eight-episode series stars Samuli Edelmann (A Good Family), Mikael Persbrandt (Beck), Anna-Maija Tuokko (Bordertown), Aake Kalliala (Second Chance), Olavi Uusivirt (Shadow Lines), Rea Mauranen (Deadwind), Paavo Westerberg (Frozen Land), Kaija Pakarinen (The Paradise), and Antti Reini (Private Eye Vares).

Tatort: Schimanski (Germany)
In these classic “Tatort” episodes from the 1980s and ’90s, Götz George (The Blood of Fu Manchu) stars as investigator Horst Schimanski, a tough, no-nonsense inspector with a code of honor, modern sensibilities, and plenty of sex appeal — and who captured the hearts of the German public and became the most iconic detective in the history of the “Tatort” franchise.
Tatort: Schimanski premieres November 19.
Tatort: Vienna: Season 1 (Austria) — English-dubbed version
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, alcohol-dependent partner, Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser, Donna Leon’s Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries), of the Vienna Police’s murder squad. (Video is the English-subtitled version from Season 1)
The English-dubbed version of Tatort: Vienna: Season 1 begins streaming November 19.
Herrhausen: The Banker & the Bomb (Herrhausen – Der Herr des Geldes) (Germany)
Set against the backdrop of the turmoil and uncertainty of the fall of the Berlin Wall and a changing Germany, this political drama is about the assassination — and still-unsolved murder — of Deutsche Bank Chairman Alfred Herrhausen (Oliver Masucci, Dark, The Swarm, German Crime Story: Deadlock) in 1989, when his armored Mercedes-Benz was pierced by a roadside explosion.
Costarring Philippe Brenninkmeyer (The Mallorca Files), Tom Keune (Berlin Legal), and Till Wonka (Inspector Dupin), Herrhausen: The Banker & the Bomb premieres November 26.
The New Nurses: Season 6 (Sygeplejeskolen) (Denmark)
Returning with a new season is this 1950s-set period drama, which follows the goings-on in and around Fredenslund Hospital in Copenhagen, which took on a radical experiment of training men as nurses at a time when the profession was regarded solely as women’s work. (Video is from Season 5)
The New Nurses: Season 6 premieres November 26.
Unless otherwise noted, all of the above programs are shown in their original language(s) with English subtitles and will premiere in the US and Canada on MHz Choice and its digital channels, including MHz Choice on Prime Video Channels, starting on the dates shown above. (Scheduling changes can occur at any time and without prior notice.)
