Overview
- RTLZWEI announced on Monday that it will end its 15-year collaboration with Carmen and Robert Geiss and that a final season is in production.
- The farewell season will include the 500th episode and numerous already produced and in-production installments will continue to air on RTLZWEI and be available on RTL+ into 2027.
- Hours after RTLZWEI’s statement the Geiss family confirmed a deal with ProSiebenSat.1 to relaunch their docu‑soap in the second half of 2027 with Geiss TV as producer.
- Under the ProSiebenSat.1 agreement the plan is to produce about 20 new double-episodes per year, though the exact channel placement and broadcast schedule within the group have not been announced.
- Because the family’s Cologne-based Geiss TV already handles production, the move shifts both the show’s broadcaster and the business that controls its future output and will make the on-air transition gradual for viewers.
