Berlinger joined hands with a production company called Beetz Brothers to work on this intriguing Netflix project. While the teaser has given only very few clues about the case, the audience was excited for the release of the crime series.

What is Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer about?

Interestingly, when the murders took place in 2012, they were mostly under-reported. Hence, there isn’t much information out there about the real-life incident that inspired the plot of the Netflix 2024 crime TV series Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer.

The story revolves around the incidents that took place in Berlin in 2012. Three men from the queer community were murdered and robbed in the city after being drugged. The term ‘The Darkroom Murderer’ was coined for the person who was responsible for all three killings. One of the murders had taken place in a dark room at a gay club in Berlin. The killer targeted men from in and around the city’s party scene. The culprit was finally caught when one of the victims survived his attack and the killer tried to use one of the victim’s credit cards to purchase a train ticket. This helped the police find more clues about the killer and the investigation started to close in.

Who is a part of the series?

The fact that there are very few reports about this serial killer, makes the new show more interesting to watch for fans of true crime series. What adds more intrigue is that the Netflix 2024 crime TV series Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer will feature exclusive interviews from the investigators on the case, relatives of the men who were killed and the survivor who had almost met the same fate as the other victims.
