Overview
- EndemolShine Germany produced the five-part series for Bayerischer Rundfunk, slated to debut in late April 2026 on ARD Mediathek’s BR channel.
- Filming concluded in late October with three hunter teams from Unterföhring, Feldmoching, and a joint Hochbrück/Oberschleißheim squad.
- Each team fields five experienced Maibaumstehlen participants, joined by influencers Saint Skye, Zeo, and Bayern3’s Tschuggi who share behind-the-scenes views on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
- Fairground-style contests such as beverage-crate stacking, beer-barrel throwing, and tractor-tire runs grant time windows when opponents’ maypoles must remain unguarded.
- The production was shot mostly at night with teams partially self-recording via GoPros, body cams, small drones, and smartphones to create an immersive perspective.
