Kaulitz brothers to host ‘Wetten, dass..?’ revival in Halle

The ZDF entertainment show ‘Wetten, dass..?’ is set to return for a special live edition on December 5, 2026, in Halle (Saale). For the first time, the show will be hosted by twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz from the band Tokio Hotel.

Due to high demand, ZDF is distributing tickets exclusively through a lottery system. Registration for the drawing opened on October 19 and will remain open until October 23. Winners will be notified via email following a digital random selection on October 26. Successful applicants must personalize their tickets within 48 hours of payment to avoid cancellation.

Former host Markus Lanz has expressed support for the Kaulitz brothers, noting that their potential ‘anarchic’ and ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ approach is a fitting direction for the revival. Lanz also reflected on the legacy of previous host Thomas Gottschalk, acknowledging the cultural impact of his tenure while noting that some of his past hosting styles are viewed differently in a modern context.
