Tom Tykwer, Achim von Borries, and Hendrik Handloegten, the co-director of the previous seasons have already shared their plans to bring changes in the plot. 

“We thought it was time for a bit of change and of course we are faster, and we wanted the female input. We hope if everything goes well to shoot next year again,” said Henk Handloegten .“The next one which is called Goldstein, and that’s the third book, will be our fourth season. That is a book that we will base a lot of storylines on,” he added.
