ARD Sets ‘Werwölfe – Das Spiel von List und Täuschung’ Launch for Sept. 25

Streaming-first rollout precedes a limited late-night broadcast window on Das Erste.

Overview

  • The first four episodes arrive on ARD-Mediathek on September 25, with two more four-episode drops on October 2 and 9, and the first two episodes airing on Das Erste on October 2 at 22:50.
  • The 12-part format adapts the ‘Werwölfe von Düsterwald’ game, placing 13 contestants in an isolated setting where three hidden werewolves act at night and daytime votes decide additional eliminations.
  • Michael Kessler provides the narration, framing the contest around detecting deception as much as telling convincing lies.
  • ITV Studios Germany produced the series in France, promoting a strategically and psychologically focused presentation.
  • Regional outlets name contestants, including a Duisburg soldier, and report a €25,000 prize, while ARD has not formally announced the full cast.
