In the third season of Die Landarztpraxis, Kai Schumann joins the cast as Dr. Chris Lehmann, a longtime friend of Dr. Sarah König (Caroline Frier) from their time working together in Berlin. This new addition brings fresh excitement to the small Bavarian village of Wiesenkirchen and stirs things up in Sarah’s already complicated relationship with her partner, Dr. Fabian Kroiß (Oliver Franck).

Chris is a familiar face for Doctor’s Diary fans, where Schumann portrayed the beloved Dr. Mehdi Kaan, and once again, the actor dons the doctor’s coat with ease, bringing his signature charm to the screen. As Chris steps into the quiet town, he not only plans to support his friend Sarah, whose mother urgently requested his help, but also becomes a stabilizing force in the tumultuous lives of the townsfolk.

However, his arrival brings tension, especially with Sarah and Fabian’s relationship that was already on shaky ground from the previous season. While Chris and Sarah share a fun-filled history full of late-night shifts and adventures in Berlin’s emergency room, his return signals potential complications for the couple.

In an interview, Schumann reflects on his deep connection to the role and the series. He expresses how much he enjoys playing a character who is warm, open-hearted, and able to laugh at himself, drawing similarities between himself and Chris. Schumann also shares his personal longing to return to country life, something his character Chris embraces as he leaves the big city behind.

As the season progresses, viewers can expect an engaging mix of humor, challenges, and heartwarming moments with Dr. Chris Lehmann—a character who promises to be as compelling as the actor behind him.
