‘The Summit’ Cast Says Prime Video’s New Mountain Challenge Is Their Toughest Yet

Overview

• Cecilia Asoro calls the German adaptation the most physically demanding format she has ever done, saying it pushed her body to unfamiliar limits.
• Flying Uwe says he briefly considered quitting after sizing up the reality‑TV heavy cast, then stayed following reassurances from producers.
• Tanja Tischewitsch admits she didn’t read the briefing and expected a laid‑back villa show, only to face an exhausting climb with little downtime.
• Ex‑footballer Ansgar Brinkmann trained with regular runs and says fitness helped, though he stresses the game’s complexity and paid little attention to alliances.
• The series sends celebrities across New Zealand terrain carrying shares of a €1 million prize in their backpacks with stage eliminations, and it premieres on Prime Video on September 26.
