Overview

  • RTL has officially confirmed the cancellation of 'Du gewinnst hier nicht die Million,' which will not return after its June summer hiatus.
  • The show, a mix of quiz, comedy, and game-show elements, struggled to attract linear TV audiences, averaging only 820,000 viewers and single-digit market shares.
  • Remaining episodes will be transformed into themed specials, including an ESC live broadcast from Basel and potentially a Bundesliga-focused edition.
  • A new weekly show featuring Stefan Raab is in development for autumn 2025, separating comedy and game-show components to better engage viewers.
  • Despite the show's challenges, RTL highlights its success in driving streaming subscriptions on RTL+ and remains committed to its partnership with Raab.
