RTL reality show sees streaming growth despite low TV ratings

The reality television show ‘Das Sommerhaus der Stars’ is experiencing a divergence between linear TV viewership and streaming success. While the 11th season has struggled with low ratings on free-to-air television, reaching nearly a negative record with approximately 810,000 viewers for the premiere, it has seen significant growth on the RTL+ streaming platform.

On the streaming service, the third episode reached a seasonal high of approximately 1.2 million viewers. Due to this trend, RTL has decided to move the season finale and the crowning of the winners exclusively to the RTL+ streaming platform rather than broadcasting it on free-to-air television.
