MHz Choice announces its May lineup of new and returning series

New series from Sweden, Germany and a robust slate of premieres from Italy, including season two of Imma Tataranni.

WASHINGTON, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MHz Choice will debut Swedish series First Responders, which is set in the remote tourist village of Åre with drama spread amongst the town's emergency services: Police, Fire, Mountain Rescue and the local Doctors ward. The lives of doctors, EMTs, police officers and eccentric tour guides intersect as the town's population swells from 1,500 to 60,000 during peak ski season. The seasonal population explosion may be the source of dramatic wilderness rescues, but the small town has plenty of criminal activity and the associated communal tension that comes with it.

MHz Choice will also premiere the latest series addition to the long-running German Tatort franchise with Tatort: Weimer, which pairs well-matched yet mismatched detectives Lessing and Kira Dorn as they tackle case after case while weathering true surprises along the way.

Complementing the new series in May is a visual feast from Italy with the main dish being the return of fan-favorite Imma Tataranni (Italy). This popular crime dramedy set in Matera remains both sharp and entertaining with Vanessa Scalera resuming her role as deputy prosecutor Immacolata Tataranni. While new cases, investigative tenacity and a love of cooking remain central to Imma's character, this season she again confronts romantic temptation alongside the emotional needs of her husband and grown daughter. MHz Choice also takes viewers beyond the southern Italian city of Matera with the premiere of four new documentaries, each focusing on a different aspect of Italian cultural heritage.

Also returning to MHz Choice in May are two popular French detective duos: Cherif (Season 3) and Tandem (Season 4).
