  RTLzwei has announced its new dating format 'Maison Tabou', which focuses on physical attraction and sexual fantasies. The show will premiere on linear TV on September 30, 2026, airing Wednesdays at 11:35 PM due to youth protection regulations. Episodes will also be available on RTL+, one week before linear broadcast. Produced by UFA Show & Factual, the format follows singles who check into a special hotel, shed their identities, and explore their sexual desires through anonymous blind dates. A character called 'Madame' orchestrates the encounters, and participants only reveal their true identities at a shared breakfast the next day. The show was previously announced at the Screenforce Festival.

• RTL+ won't continue 'Princess Charming' for now

  2026-08-28dwdl.de

  CTV · Erfasster Impact-Score: 1/5

  RTL+ has no current plans to continue the lesbian dating show 'Princess Charming' after five seasons, the streaming service confirmed to DWDL.de. Producer Yvonne Plume announced the decision in a LinkedIn post and said the show's new nomination for the German Television Award felt like a meaningful recognition but also a source of sadness. RTL's spokesperson told DWDL.de that no new season is planned at present, though a future comeback is not ruled out. 'Princess Charming' premiered in 2021, ran five seasons, and its most recent season (summer 2025) ended amid headlines after a relationship developed and an early termination occurred. The production company Seapoint also faces another setback: it will lose the production mandate for 'Let's Dance' from 2028 when BBC Studios takes over.

  • RTL+ currently has no new season planned for the dating show 'Princess Charming'.
  • Producer Yvonne Plume made the decision public in a LinkedIn post and commented on the show's nomination.
