RTL Extends Popular 'Let's Dance' and 'Jungle Camp' Shows

German television network RTL is significantly expanding its flagship entertainment programming, announcing plans to extend both its celebrity dancing competition "Let's Dance" and the reality survival show "I'm a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!" (known locally as the "Dschungelcamp"). These extended seasons are slated to begin in 2027.

"Let's Dance," a staple on RTL since 2006, will be entering its 20th season next year and is set to become even longer. The show, which already spans several months, will undergo further expansion, promising more celebrity contestants and elaborate performances.

Similarly, the "Dschungelcamp," which crowned Gil Ofarim its winner in 2026, will also feature an extended run. The network revealed these plans during the Screenforce Festival, signaling a strategic move to capitalize on the enduring popularity of these formats.

In addition to the reality and competition shows, RTL is also developing a new historical drama series titled "Goethe vs. Schiller." The series will feature prominent German actors Moritz Bleibtreu as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and David Kross as Friedrich Schiller, exploring the rivalry between the two literary giants.
