A Eurovision-themed murder mystery is in the works – and it’s officially received the green light for development.
A murder, a lake and a Eurovision final
The show, titled “Eurovision Murder Mystery”, has received €90,000 in development funding from Nordmedia, the German media fund. It’s being developed as a six-part series, with each episode running 52 minutes.
Set during the Eurovision Song Contest in Montreux, the plot revolves around the murder of German favourite Lea Lippmann, whose body is found in Lake Geneva. A misfit team is formed to solve the mystery: suspended police officer Manuela Wagner, eccentric French contestant Sable, overzealous officer Solas, and Eurovision-obsessed Swiss detective Moser.
With every Eurovision performance, new secrets surface – leading the team closer to a dramatic final showdown.
Funding and production
According to DWDL.de, the series is being developed by Friday Film, with writing led by Fabienne Hurst. While still unconfirmed for broadcast, the project marks one of the first scripted series in years to directly integrate Eurovision into its storyline.
“Mit über 2,8 Millionen Euro fördern wir in dieser Runde Projekte, die kreative Exzellenz mit messbarem Wirtschaftseffekt verbinden – regional verankert und international ausgerichtet,” said Nordmedia’s managing director Meike Götz, commenting on the organisation’s latest round of funding decisions.
In addition to the €90,000 awarded for this series, Nordmedia has supported several other projects across Germany, totalling over €2.8 million.
