ProSieben 2026 TV season launches and ratings

Overview

In early July 2026, German broadcaster ProSieben announced a major format change for the thirteenth season of ‘The Masked Singer,’ moving the show to pre‑recorded episodes and expanding the contestant pool to 16 masked celebrities. Show executive Hannes Hiller noted the shift to pre-recording in Cologne aligns with international standards, stating, ‘Wir machen hier genau das, was weltweit längst Standard ist – ob USA oder Großbritannien…’ and adding that the move allows for the recruitment of high‑profile participants whose schedules could not accommodate a live six‑week run. A week later, ProSieben and streaming partner Joyn introduced the sixth season of the reality competition ‘Beauty & The Nerd,’ scheduled to premiere on 27 August 2026 at 20:15 CET. The series features eight self‑identified nerds—including a wrestling fan, cosplayer, and tech‑designer—paired against a team of beauties to compete for a €50,000 prize and a makeover by designer Kilian Kerner. On 22 July 2026, ProSieben further expanded its late-August lineup by announcing that a seventh season of ‘Beauty & The Nerd’ will also premiere on 27 August 2026. This seventh season will follow a similar six-episode weekly structure through 1 October, featuring a different group of eight contestants, such as a roofer, a dental assistant, and a content creator. Both seasons will be available for free streaming on Joyn following their broadcast, highlighting ProSieben’s strategy to maximize reach across broadcast and digital platforms. By late August, further details emerged regarding the seventh season of ‘Beauty & The Nerd.’ The production will be filmed on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand, where participants will reside in a luxury villa. The season continues to feature teams of one ‘beauty’ and one ‘nerd’ competing for the €50,000 prize and a makeover by Kilian Kerner.
