Beauty & The Nerd Returns on Aug. 27 as ProSieben Reveals Eight 'Nerds'

The renewal reflects steady 2025 ratings and confirms the show remains a key part of ProSieben’s summer lineup.

Overview

  • ProSieben announced on Tuesday, July 14 that Season 7 will premiere on 27 August 2026 at 20:15 on ProSieben and will stream for free on Joyn.
  • The season keeps the established six-episode format in which eight self-identified 'Nerds' pair with undisclosed 'Beautys' to face challenges for €50,000 and a Kilian Kerner makeover.
  • The broadcaster has published profiles of the eight Nerd contestants — Patrick (Wrestling), Sasha (Cosplay), Danny (Anime), Sebastian (Survival), Nam (Tech), Thesi (Cartoons), Ricardo (Gaming) and Ben (Comics).
  • This year’s launch is about two months later than in 2025 as ProSieben reshuffles its late-summer schedule and slots a new Thursday documentary series ahead of the reality return.
  • The show averaged roughly 9% market share among 14–49-year-olds in 2025, a solid audience performance that industry coverage cites as the main reason for its continuation.
