Overview
- RTL sets the Season 22 premiere for Saturday, April 4 at 20:15, with episodes airing Saturdays and Tuesdays and early releases on RTL+.
- Dieter Bohlen leads the panel with Bushido and Isi Glück as the jury trims to three, as Bohlen cautions that a win is no lifelong guarantee.
- The casting phase is fundamentally reworked to show complete days, adding a Golden Room and new Recall-Tickets while retiring the golden CDs.
- The Recall takes place at Europa-Park in Rust for the first time, with filming of those rounds currently underway.
- An RTL+ companion series, Die DSDS Reality, launches April 21 with ten episodes following contestants’ shared-house training and preparation.
