Ultimately, Hans Sigl has little say in the future planning of the series.

“In the end, it is primarily the ZDF that has to decide,” he explains, adding: “If they want to continue, I am ready.”

This is what awaits the “Bergdoktor” fans after the winter break

The winter break of “The Mountain Doctor” has been over since the beginning of January. In the 18th season, viewers can once again look forward to many emotional moments, crises and, of course, a large portion of drama. In the new episodes, Dr. Martin Gruber and Karin (played by Hilde Dalik) are going through a serious crisis. The Pflüger family is also having trouble at home. But that’s not all: Not everything is going well with Martin’s patients either. In the episode “Two Faces,” which will be broadcast on January 9th at 8:15 p.m. in the ZDF livestream on Joyn, Emily Scheffler even keeps her entire medical history from her doctor. But Martin quickly finds out that she is taking a psychotropic drug to suppress part of her personality. You can see why Emily is so determined to keep the truth secret and whether Dr. Gruber can still help her in the new episode tonight.
