ARD extends "Lindenstrasse" by three years

The German television network ARD will extend its long-running series «Lindenstrasse» once again.

"Our brands simply live longer," said ARD program director Volker Herres in an interview with the industry service Funkkorrespondenz published online on Saturday, according to SDA. 25 years is an almost youthful age for a program brand on ARD: The contract has just been extended for another three years. The series celebrates its 25th birthday in December.
The first German soap opera went on air on ARD First German Television in December 1985. Since then, "Lindenstrasse" has flickered across television screens over 1300 times.
