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.
Tom Schilling Returns As Björn Diemel For Season 2
Tom Schilling is back as Björn Diemel, the workaholic lawyer who used mindfulness techniques to solve his crime problems in the worst possible way. Peter Jordan also returns as Joschka Breitner, the mindfulness coach who keeps guiding Björn even as things get more crazy.
The rest of the returning cast includes:
- Britta Hammelstein
- 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 Björn 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.
Netflix’s official description says Björn “encounters an unexpected companion: his inner child.” This means season 2 will deal with his old childhood wounds while he also handles mafia business. The trailer shows Björn trying to stay calm and balanced, but murder keeps getting in the way.
Björn 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.

Even before season 2 arrives, Netflix showed serious confidence in the show. The streaming service gave the green light for Murder Mindfully Season 3 back in January 2026. This early renewal tells you that the streaming giant sees this German comedy as a long-term property.
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%.
