Scene of the Crime Cast: 10 Crime Shows to Watch Next
The 1970 crime series brings together a wide credited ensemble across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. These next watches follow its changing geography, investigative focus, unusual partnerships, and long-running episode structure.
Zurmo Editorial·Published ·Updated
Scene of the Crime is a long-running crime television series whose stories move through different parts of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland rather than staying in one fixed setting. That changing backdrop gives the series a broad, flexible identity: one case can feel like a new entry point into the same continuing crime world.
For viewers looking beyond the credited ensemble—including Britta Hammelstein, Carmen-Maja Antoni, Vicky Krieps, Joachim Król, Lars Eidinger, and many others—the strongest next choices are shows that offer a similarly durable crime framework while changing the balance of detective work, character partnership, setting, or episode pace.
Cast paths: from a changing crime map to distinct investigative worlds
Scene of the Crime’s cast list is notably wide, with performers attached to characters including Ines Kallwey, Olga Kruschwitz, Mariam Sert, Frank Steier, Kai Korthals, and many more. That breadth suits a series built across three countries and many locations. Rather than pointing toward one single lead performance, the best follow-ups preserve the pleasure of moving between crime stories while offering a clearer structural identity of their own.
How we chose these next watches
The best choice depends on which part of Scene of the Crime holds your attention. Choose Columbo or Agatha Christie’s Poirot for a distinctive detective at the center of each mystery, Castle or High Potential for an unusual partnership, and Death in Paradise for crime stories where setting matters. For a longer commitment built around transformation or underworld pressure, Better Call Saul and Tulsa King take the form in a more serialized direction.
