The summer 2026 schedule for German reality television continued to expand. Sat. 1 launched the second season of Villa der Versuchung on 3 August at 20:15, streamed live on Joyn and again hosted by Verona Pooth. Fourteen celebrities compete for a €250,000 jackpot, with confirmed participants including former footballer Thorsten Legat, actress Jenny Elvers, content creator Erik “Satansbratan”, former adult-film star Dolly Buster and returning cast member Annika Kärsten-Hoenig. The announced lineup also adds TV regulars Tatjana Gsell, Tommy Pedroni, Erik Seidl, Jana Urkraft, Chika Oambrose, Roland Ludomirska, Nicolas Puschmann, singer Frenzy, influencer Elsa Latifaj and entrepreneur Jens Hilbert. The format pits contestants against costly temptations – any luxury such as a €150 cigarette, extra food or private-pool access is deducted from the collective €250,000 prize, forcing participants to balance comfort against the jackpot. Villa der Versuchung’s second season premiere saw strong viewership, achieving a 9.1 percent market share in the 14 to 59 age demographic, a 1.5 percentage point increase over the previous year. In recent episodes, host Verona Pooth presented contestants with a dilemma: a potential €50,000 increase to the collective jackpot or the arrival of participant Dolly Buster, a choice that has caused mixed reactions among the residents.
