Netflix has set the return date for its German dark comedy series Murder Mindfully. The show, which surprised everyone with its clever mix of meditation and murder, will be back with eight new episodes on May 28, 2026. The streaming service also dropped the official trailer on April 29, giving viewers a look at what happens when a mob boss tries to fix his childhood issues.

The first season became a surprise hit after its October 2024 release. It reached the Netflix Top 10 in 66 different countries and holds a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics. The show also won the German Television Award for Best Comedy Series in 2025.

The rest of the returning cast includes:

  • Murathan Muslu
  • Emily Cox as Katharina Diemel
  • Friederike Kempter
  • Bastian Reiber

Martina Plura returns as director, with Doron Wisotzky writing the episodes. The show is produced by Constantin Film, the same team behind the first season.

What Happens In Murder Mindfully Season 2

The new season picks up with Bjรถrn thinking he has everything under control. He quit his stressful lawyer job, spends more time with his daughter, and argues with his wife in a more mindful way. But there is one small problem. He now represents two mafia clans whose bosses he quietly removed from the scene.

Netflixโ€™s official description says Bjรถrn โ€œencounters an unexpected companion: his inner child.โ€ This means season 2 will deal with his old childhood wounds while he also handles mafia business. The trailer shows Bjรถrn trying to stay calm and balanced, but murder keeps getting in the way.

Bjรถrn Diemel seemingly has his life under control: he has internalized the principles of mindfulness, quit his stressful job as a criminal defense lawyer and gone self-employed. He spends more time with his daughter Emily, argues more mindfully with his wife Katharina, but has, on the other hand, expanded his career with an unusual responsibility: As legal representative of two mafia clans whose bosses he has mindfully made disappear from the scene.

The show is based on the bestselling book series by Karsten Dusse, a German author and actual lawyer. The first book has been translated into 30 languages, and the series has sold more than four million copies in Germany alone.

Netflix Already Greenlit Season 3

The first season got a unique response from audiences who did not expect a show about mindfulness and murder to work so well. The 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes is rare for any series, let alone a foreign language comedy. The audience score is also strong at 89%.

Fans who have been waiting since season 1 ended in late 2024 do not have much longer to go. With the trailer now out and the May 28 date confirmed, the wait is almost over for one of Netflixโ€™s most unusual and entertaining shows. The mix of German dark humor, crime drama, and actual mindfulness lessons created something that no other streaming show has tried.
