German Talk Shows Caren Miosga and Markus Lanz Enter Summer Pause in 2026
The ARD talk show hosted by Caren Miosga did not air on Sunday 26 July 2026 because the program is in its summer hiatus. The next broadcast is scheduled for Sunday 23 August 2026 at 21:45, with about 30 episodes planned for the year.
ZDF’s "Markus Lanz" also entered a summer break after its episode on Thursday 16 July 2026. The pause lasts roughly four weeks, and the show will resume on Tuesday 18 August 2026. Other German talk programmes are affected: Maybrit Illner’s show paused on 23 July 2026, temporarily replaced by the format "Sarah Tacke" until 27 August, while Sandra Maischberger’s programme aired its last pre‑break episode on 10 June 2026 and is set to return on 11 August 2026.
