ProSieben Pulls 'Superduper Show' from Scheduled Sunday Slot
ProSieben has again postponed the broadcast of the remaining episodes of the 'Superduper Show' featuring Bill and Tom Kaulitz, which had failed in 2024 with poor ratings after just one prime-time airing. Initially slated for a return in 2025, then scheduled to air on September 20 at 11:45 AM, the show has now been removed from the programming schedule. Instead, ProSieben will air repeats of 'Big Brains – Geniale Erfindungen' and other shows in that slot. A ProSieben spokesperson indicated the show will find a new home on a different date, with details to be communicated later. The show's production company, SEO Entertainment, was previously absorbed into Madame Zheng.
