ARD Sets Staggered Launch for Reality Series ‘Werwölfe – Das Spiel von List und Täuschung’

Off-screen narration keeps attention on psychological strategy in a game about truth.

Overview

  • Episodes 1–4 arrive on ARD-Mediathek on 25 September, with further four-episode drops on 2 and 9 October, and Das Erste airing the first two episodes on 2 October at 22:50.
  • The 12-part format places 13 players with hidden roles in an isolated setting where three werewolves act at night and the group debates and votes to unmask them.
  • Michael Kessler serves as the off-voice narrator as producers forgo an on-screen host to center lying, detection and social dynamics.
