ProSiebenSat.1 to launch Sat.2 in early 2027

ProSiebenSat.1 will launch a new linear TV channel, Sat.2 — slogan "Wiedersehen macht Freude" — in early 2027, targeting primarily women and viewers aged 50+ with German scripted fiction and legacy Sat.1 brands (Der Bulle von Tölz, Kommissar Rex, Verliebt in Berlin). Ellen Koch is developing the channel; Chief Content Officer Henrik Pabst signalled the plan and described linear as “a supporting wall — but not the whole building.” Executives position Sat.2 as an ad-funded reach vehicle complementary to streaming, to be sold alongside Sat.1 via Seven.One Media within an expanded 7+1 linear portfolio, and it will be freely receivable across multiple platforms at launch. Reported by Horizont and DWDL, the move sits amid a re-linearisation trend: DWDL notes 30 niche channels reached a combined 32.3% share among 14–49 year‑olds last year.

• Sat.2 will launch in early 2027, branded "Wiedersehen macht Freude", and be freely receivable across multiple platforms at launch.
• Target audience is primarily female viewers and audiences aged 50+, with programming focused on German scripted series and legacy Sat.1 brands.
• Ellen Koch is developing the channel; Chief Content Officer Henrik Pabst publicly signalled the plan and framed linear as a supporting, but no longer sole, part of the portfolio.
