The popular dating format from UFA Show & Factual has been making TV history for over a decade. After a pilot episode was produced in 2013, the first full season followed in 2014 — the starting signal for a successful series that is now in its 11th season and even delights audiences on RTL with XXL editions.
The show, produced in Studio 8 at EMG / Gravity Media’s German studios, was initially closely associated with entertainer Ralf Schmitz, who shaped the format. In 2021, a widely noted hosting change took place: Jan Köppen took over the reins and led the show into a new era.
Since then, the format has impressed with entertaining matches, humorous challenges, and genuine heartbeats. With consistently strong ratings and a loyal fan base, the dating format remains a staple of the German TV landscape.
