SOKO is a German (ZDF) and Austrian (ORF) police procedural television series franchise. "SOKO" is an abbreviation of the German word Sonderkommission, which means "special investigative team". Some English-language titles do not contain the word "SOKO", however.
Launched in 1978 under the title SOKO 5113 (changed to SOKO München in 2015), the original series ran for forty-two years, until 2020. The first spin-off of SOKO München was a twelve-part series named Solo für Sudmann, launched in 1997. This was followed by various SOKO series based in different cities in Germany and Austria.
