Ninja Warrior Germany Turns 10 With Direct-to-Final Special and Buschi’s Last Season

RTL is pairing early drops on RTL+ with Friday primetime broadcasts as the anniversary run progresses through prelims toward a final at Mount Midoriyama.

Overview

  • Season 10 is currently airing, with twelve episodes scheduled on Fridays at 20:15 on RTL and each episode available a week earlier on RTL+.
  • Anniversary format tweak: from every preliminary round the top four competitors plus the best woman, if not already qualified, advance to a special titled “Der direkte Weg ins Finale.”
  • In the special, athletes compete for direct tickets to the final, bypassing the semifinals for those who place in the top group.
  • The long-running host trio returns, and Frank “Buschi” Buschmann has confirmed he will leave the show after this season.
  • Germany becomes the third country to reach ten seasons of the Ninja Warrior format, with a €300,000 prize awaiting any competitor who conquers Mount Midoriyama.
