ProSiebenSat.1 Postpones 'Forsthaus Rampensau' Season 4
ProSiebenSat.1 announced late Thursday that the fourth season of the reality format 'Forsthaus Rampensau Germany' will be postponed from its scheduled Friday premiere on Joyn and Sixx to 2027. Citing 'production-related reasons' in a statement on Joyn's social media channels, the decision came just hours before the planned start, prompting speculation about the underlying causes. The format had been set to air on both the streaming platform Joyn and the linear channel Sixx. As a result, Sixx will now broadcast 'Verpfuscht - Ein Fall für die Beauty-Docs' in the time slot. This marks a sudden and significant scheduling change for the German entertainment landscape.
