Overview
- RTL confirmed production of Unter uns will stop and the show will continue to air new episodes on RTL and early on RTL+ until a planned final run in spring 2027.
- Industry data reported by DWDL.de show average viewers fell from about 1 million in 2022 to roughly 600,000 recently and the 14–49 demographic often below 100,000, a decline the network cited when explaining the decision.
- Producer UFA and its CEO have said they are reviewing options to continue the series on another platform or in a different format but have not announced any concrete deal.
- Cast members said they were told only days before the public announcement, have expressed concern about their livelihoods, and have joined fans in a UFA-led campaign and petition under the slogan #nichtohneunteruns to try to save the show.
- The cancellation highlights a broader industry trend where daily fictional formats face weakening linear audiences, fragmented streaming habits, and rising production costs that make long-running soaps harder to finance.
