Prime Video Debuts German 'The Summit' With €1 Million Trek Through New Zealand

Brisk, humor-laced episodes push a celebrity cast through punishing hikes under a sardonic Mountain Keeper voiced by Manfred Lehmann.

Overview

  • The German adaptation is now streaming on Prime Video as of September 26.
  • Banijay Productions Germany produced the series with executive producer Andrea Lange in the New Zealand wilderness.
  • Twelve celebrities must carry their shares of a €1 million cash pot to a remote summit, with strenuous hiking as the central test.
  • Early episodes already trim the prize pool as a participant exits and tasks go unfinished, setting tense group dynamics in motion.
  • Critics note the fast pacing, a well-calibrated cast mix, and the show’s sardonic tone shaped by the off-screen Mountain Keeper.
