Babylon Berlin Season 4: What could be the plot?
Babylon Berlin Season 4 would cover two other aspects of the novel, i.e. Goldstein: GereonRath's third case and The Fatherland Files: GereonRath's fourth case, as noted by Qiez, the German magazine.
Tom Tykwer, Achim von Borries, and HendrikHandloegten, 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 HenkHandloegten, "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," said the creator.
Season 3 of the series left a shocking note on the crashed stock market in Germany where GereonRath (played by Volker Bruch) incurred a heavy loss. He took a heavy dose of morphine before propelling into a psychedelic hallucination.
Babylon Berlin Season 4 can also highlight the relationship between GereonRath and Charlotte Ritter. Season 3 hinted about their future relationship with a kissing scene.
