Luna + Sophie

In 2023, PBS began streaming the first three seasons of the series under the title Luna + Sophie, with English subtitles.^[4] Presented by Walter Presents, a British video-on-demand service that streams foreign programs with English subtitles, the show's title is derived from the names of the two original protagonists.^[4]^[5]

In 2024, season 4 began streaming, retaining the Lune + Sophie name even though Katrin Jaehne (Sophie) had left the series and Anja Pahl joined as Tamara Meurer. Four episodes into the season, Omar El-Saeidi (David Grünbaum) and Hendrik von Bültzingslöwen (Christoph Westermann) simultaneously left the series, with both characters getting the same promotion.^{[citation needed]}

Due to the cast changes in subsequent seasons of SOKO Potsdam, including the departure of Caroline Erikson, who portrayed Luna^[6], Walter Presents uses the title Partners in Crime: Potsdam Homicide for season 5.^[7].
