Broadcast Market: Geissens end 15-year collaboration with RTLzwei after final season
After 15 years, the reality TV show 'Die Geissens' will end its run on German broadcaster RTLzwei. The final season, currently in production, will include the 500th episode as a special milestone. The Geiss family and RTLzwei will part ways amicably after the current agreement concludes. The spin-off 'Davina & Shania - We love Monaco' with the Geiss daughters will also end. RTLzwei's managing director Thorsten Braun praised the show's contributions, while the Geissens expressed gratitude. The show has been produced by Geiss TV since 2015, with the family producing their own formats.
The end of a long-running reality show affects the broadcaster's programming and content strategy, but is not a major industry shift.
