Content of the series Toggle

Crime thriller meets comedy, last century meets here and now, ghost boy meets teenage girl: Binny (Merle Juschka) and Melchior (Johannes Hallervorden) have a lot in common: one room (forced), a passion for all things mysterious, detective-like sleuthing and a keen sense of justice. Thanks to a magical clock that Binny found after moving into the old villa with her parents, she can see Melchior, a ghost from the last century. Since then, Melchior has been living under the same roof as Binny and her unsuspecting parents (Katharina Kaali and Steffen Groth).

The second season

The second season continues with the same excitement! Binny and Melchior try to find out what powers lie dormant in the magical pocket watches and where the other watchkeepers are. In their search for answers, the team of detectives come across exciting criminal cases and a new adversary: Rhett Thorn (Robert Köhler). He is a powerful clock hunter who has set himself the goal of becoming the ruler of time. But in order to carry out his dangerous plan, he needs something that Binny and Melchior possess, which puts them in great danger…
