Horror series Hameln: enthusiasm and criticism from the region!
The horror series "Hameln" celebrated its premiere on TV on December 30, 2025 and in the media library. The series consists of six episodes and was partly shot in Hameln, which in particular appeals to spectators from Hameln and the Weserbergland, since they are shown to them. All episodes are available in the ZDF media library and will also be broadcast on ZDFNEO on January 12 and 19 at 8:15 p.m.
The opinions on the series are shared. Positive comments praise both history and the performance. However, critics complain about “wooden dialogues” and a confused story. Some spectators compare the series with other TV formats such as "Zombie and back to the future" and "The three question marks". The horror factor is perceived differently: While some perceive the series as "violent" and "brutal", others state that it is not perceived as a real horror. Michael Boyer, employee of Hameln Marketing and Tourismus GmbH, expresses praise for Götz Otto, who plays the role of the rat.
number of spectators and market share
The first episode of the series was seen by 440,000 people, with the number of spectators temporarily falling to 200,000. The market shares in young spectators were between 0.5 and 0.8 percent, while one episode even reached 1.8 percent. The exact streaming volume in the ZDF Mediathek is not yet known, as ZDF reported.
In summary, it can be seen that the series finds a mixed reception, especially with regard to the quality and horror factor. Nevertheless, the viewer interest in the well -known locations and characters remains evident, such as Dewezet-transmitted by West-Ost-Medien
