Overview
- ZDF announced in early June 2026 that Kurt Krömer will return to television with a new series titled "Krömers letzte Stunde" commissioned as four episodes.
- ZDF entertainment chief Oliver Heidemann said the format will keep Krömer’s unpredictable mix of humor and seriousness and will pair him with two guests per episode for talk and games.
- The Cologne production company btf will produce the show for broadcast on ZDFneo and for streaming in the ZDFmediathek.
- No concrete broadcast start date has been set yet, so scheduling, guest lineups and exact release timing remain to be announced.
- The move ends Krömer’s recent run without a regular show after the 2022 end of "Chez Krömer" and marks a notable broadcaster shift from rbb to ZDF that could change where his signature style appears on German public TV.
