Season 4 of the international hit series Babylon Berlin is set in 1930s Germany, just after the global stock market crash and the Great Depression, and with the Nazis' march to power in full swing. The story centers on detective Gereon Rath (Volker Bruch) and his ambitious colleague Charlotte Ritter (Liv Lisa Fries). As Gereon's investigations lead him into the fixed fights of the boxing world - and politically, uncomfortably close to Hitler's militant supporters - Charlotte risks her job to help her homeless sister, who roams the streets of Berlin with a group of young peers, fighting for survival.

Alexander Bukow is a veteran cop who doesn't mind working at the edge of the law to get results. Bukow knows the town of Rostock, like his own backyard and he should; it's where he grew up. He has contacts on every corner and can be charming enough to wrap friends and enemies around his finger. Katrin Konig has a sterling reputation as an analyst and profiler and is esteemed by all who know her for her assessments and professionalism. For Konig, the job is her life, which is how she became such an accomplished criminal profiler. She's a strait-laced control freak and all too aware of her partner's seedy past and questionable allegiances. Despite, or perhaps because of their differences, they make a successful crime-fighting team; when they're not fighting each other.
