Following the final live broadcast on 6 September 2026, a ‘Best-of 2026’ retrospective aired on 13 September 2026, marking the end of the format on SWR.

Following the series finale, Mross shared an update with fans via Instagram, noting that he and his partner, Eva Luginger, are taking a few days to relax in nature. Mross expressed gratitude to his community for their supportive messages, stating, “Thank you for your lovely messages and how much you have taken ‘Immer wieder sonntags’ to your hearts,” following the emotional conclusion of the program, which he hosted for over two decades.
