Overview

  • Daniel Hartwich's new quiz show, 'Die perfekte Reihe,' premiered on April 28, 2025, following 'Wer wird Millionär?' but underperformed with 2.04 million viewers and an 8.9% market share.
  • Hartwich, who stepped back from high-profile shows like 'Das Supertalent' and the Dschungelcamp, has focused on maintaining his hosting role on 'Let's Dance' and exploring quiz formats.
  • The decision to reduce his television presence stems from his own sense of overexposure, with Hartwich admitting he was 'satt von mir selbst' (tired of himself on screen).
  • Despite its modest start, 'Die perfekte Reihe' aligns with RTL's strategy to sustain prime-time quiz programming, though it faces stiff competition in the ratings battle.
  • Hartwich has publicly dismissed rumors of succeeding Günther Jauch as the host of 'Wer wird Millionär?', emphasizing his intent to carve out his own path in entertainment.
