Television - Actress Wookie Mayer: Now I'm the diva

Mayer is currently near Berchtesgaden for the ARD prime-time series "Watzmann investigates" in front of the camera. In this episode, she plays the aging diva Gundi Sommer and privately has to think about her mother as well. "This is already the second diva role since her death." The audience can expect to see the case in 2025 on First, as the production's PR agency announced on Friday.

"Watzmann investigates" is one of the biggest ratings hits on ARD prime time. The previous season reached an average of around three million viewers and a market share of 13.6 percent. This made the BR production the second most successful prime-time series in the ARD in 2023. The reruns are currently airing on First on Wednesdays at 18.50 pm.

Mayer's family in Germany eagerly anticipates her performance in "Watzmann investigates," airing on ARD prime time. Berchtesgaden, the picturesque Bavarian town, serves as the backdrop for the gripping drama. The colorful media scene buzzes with excitement for the upcoming episode, featuring Mayer as the aging diva. Meanwhile, Lindenstrasse, a local street, becomes a hub of activity for fans eager to catch a glimpse of the star.

During an interview with a local television station, Mayer shared her personal connection to the role, saying, "This is my second time playing a diva, but it's different since my mother's death." The chapter, heavily influenced by her mother's memory, promises to be a poignant one. The Watzmann mountain, a symbol of Berchtesgaden, looms over the storyline, adding an enchanting layer of depth.
