Markus Lanz returns to ZDF after summer break
German talk show host Markus Lanz is returning to ZDF after a four-week summer break. The program, produced in Hamburg, is scheduled to air on Tuesday evening, with subsequent broadcasts on Wednesday and Thursday.
ZDF has announced a special edition of the show to air on Monday, September 7, following the state election in Saxony-Anhalt. The election is noted for its potential political impact, as the AfD could emerge as the strongest party.
Lanz's program maintains a significant presence in German media, averaging approximately 1.49 million television viewers in 2025, supplemented by a strong social media following. Specific guests for the upcoming return are determined on a daily basis.
