Wilsberg: a murder in a supermarket shakes Münster

The German crime series “Wilsberg” captivated viewers with a new episode entitled “Tod im Supermarkt”, broadcast on March 25, 2026 on ZDFneo at 8:15 p.m. This episode marks an important milestone, being the 50th in the series, and immerses fans in a complex investigation that starts innocuously before turning into drama.

The story begins with a seemingly trivial incident: Ekki, played by Oliver Korittke, slips in a supermarket because of a spilled yogurt. This accident leads to legal proceedings for damages, but things take an unexpected turn when the supermarket chain's lawyer tries to discredit Ekki by portraying him as an alcoholic.

Furious, Ekki decides to confront the store manager, Ridderbusch, played by Sönke Möhring. However, he discovers her lifeless body in a garbage container, transforming a simple civil case into a murder investigation. This macabre discovery propels the plot into a spiral of investigations and suspicions.

Inspector Overbeck, played by Roland Jankowsky, rushes to the scene and quickly concludes that Ekki is the main suspect. His expeditious method and lack of rigor even worry Commissioner Schaaf, played by Rainer Laupichler, who must supervise the investigation while managing internal tensions within the police.

Georg Wilsberg, played by Leonard Lansink, enters the scene to defend his friend Ekki and untangle the threads of this affair. The investigation reveals that the supermarket's loyalty card contains crucial data, adding a technological dimension to the intrigue. This information becomes a key element in identifying the real culprit.

The broadcast on ZDFneo attracted a significant audience, with replays available online via the channel's media library. This digital access allows viewers to rewatch the episode at their convenience, thereby strengthening fan engagement with the series.

“Tod im Supermarkt” illustrates “Wilsberg’s” ability to blend humor, drama and social criticism, while remaining true to its iconic Münster setting. This episode reminds us that German detective series continue to innovate and captivate a wide audience, in Germany and beyond.
