In the last few months, a wave of nostalgia has swept through German TV. “Frei Schnauze” could also return.
In recent months, German TV broadcasters have increasingly relied on the return of well-known cult formats. The impro-comedy “Frei Schnauze” should probably return soon. RTL is planning a corresponding comeback, would like the “Bild am Sonntag” to know. So far, however, there has been no confirmation from the broadcaster.
According to the report, comedian Max Giermann (46), known from “Switch reloaded” and “LOL: Last One Laughing”, will moderate. The production of six episodes is scheduled for April. The original show ran on RTL from 2005 to 2008.
The great retro wave
In recent months, numerous German TV formats have received new editions. After a successful comeback of “Wetten, dass…?” with moderator Thomas Gottschalk (71) announced two more editions for 2022 and 2023. “TV total” has been running again on ProSieben since November, now moderated by Raab’s successor Sebastian Pufpaff (45). And “7 days, 7 heads” has just celebrated a comeback.
A week ago the Sunday newspaper reportedthat a return of “The price is hot” is planned with three episodes for the time being. Harry Wijnvoord (72), the presenter of the original, is said to be there. The whole thing could therefore be broadcast in the spring. RTL has not yet commented on this. Wijnvoord explained this in an interview with “web.de” At the end of January, when asked when “The price is hot” would return: “I can’t say anything about that – and I’ve actually already said enough.”
