SOKO Potsdam is a German police procedural television series that premiered on 24 September 2018 on ZDF. It is the tenth offshoot of SOKO München, launched in 1978. "SOKO" is an abbreviation of the German word Sonderkommission, which means "special investigative team". The show revolves around a police team that investigates murders and other serious crimes in the city of Potsdam and surrounding areas. The first four seasons air as Luna + Sophie in the US.

Luna + Sophie In 2023, PBS began streaming the first three seasons of the series under the title Luna + Sophie, with English subtitles. 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.
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.
Due to the cast changes in subsequent seasons of SOKO Potsdam, including the departure of Caroline Erikson, who portrayed Luna, Walter Presents uses the title Partners in Crime: Potsdam Homicide for season 5.
