ProSieben Debuts 'Catch Us' as Celebrities Report Paranoia

Filmed in October using the Joyn app for live tips, the three‑night broadcast shows a pre‑recorded hunt that viewers cannot now influence.

Overview

  • The new adventure show began broadcasting Tuesday, November 10, 2026, as a three‑night TV event on ProSieben with episodes also available to stream on Joyn.
  • Four celebrity 'Targets' — Andrea Kiewel, Chris Tall, Jenke von Wilmsdorff and his son Jánik — tried to evade six hunter duos over five days while wearing conspicuous red‑white ringelshirts and completing public tasks.
  • Rules disclosed at a press conference said Targets received a one‑hour head start and unlimited travel funds while Hunter teams started with €2,500 in cash and daily eliminations thinned the field.
  • ProSieben and producers enabled community tips via social media and the Joyn app during filming, with reporting of roughly €2,000 paid for tips that led to captures, but those interactive elements no longer affect the edited broadcast.
  • Participants describe strong psychological effects from the immersive format — Kiewel said she felt prolonged paranoia and Chris Tall said he experienced an emotional 'low' for days — a reaction that highlights questions about recognizability, privacy and use of influencer reach in such shows.
