  • In their Kaulitz Hills podcast, the brothers said they will front a single edition this year, calling it a dream and promising big-name guests.
  • The announcement follows teases via a cryptic ZDF Instagram post and a large video ad at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, after DWDL first reported the plan.
  • ZDF program director Nadine Bilke praised the show’s generational impact as the network leans on the duo to reach younger viewers.
