Overview

• New episodes are already streaming on RTL+, with RTLZWEI’s linear premiere set for September 11, as producers lean on multi‑platform promotion.
• The cast features familiar reality figures including Marco Cerullo, Jennifer Iglesias, Laura Maria Lettgen (Laura Blond), Filip Pavlovic, Jeje Lopes and returning Islander Dijana Cvijetic.
• For the first time in the VIP edition, at least two openly bisexual women—Stella Stegmann and Joena Steilen—increase on‑screen queer visibility.
• Pre‑existing frictions surface as Emmy Russ questions Laura Blond’s motives and Eva Benetatou recounts an alleged past triangle involving Gabby Alves and Chris Broy, while Raúl Richter predicts heavy drama and notes the €50,000 prize may sway intentions.
• Filip Pavlovic says he declined a 2024 approach but joined this season after a TV break, and Pietro Lombardi confirms a guest appearance performing the title song Fuego rather than competing.
