Let’s Dance’ Ratings Slide to Season Low as RTL Shifts Next Show to Sunday

The show still leads among 14–49-year-olds, a metric advertisers prize despite fewer overall viewers.

Overview

  • Let’s Dance, which aired its third live show on Friday, drew about 2.69 million viewers, roughly 500,000 fewer than earlier episodes.
  • Despite the drop, the broadcast led private primetime with a 14.8% share overall and about 19.8% in the 14–49 age group, or roughly 0.64 million viewers.
  • Comedian Simon Gosejohann exited with pro Ekaterina Leonova after a nine-point Salsa, a result host Daniel Hartwich announced during the live show.
  • Fan reactions online alleged producer-led pairings to hobble Leonova and complained about heavy ad breaks, though these claims are unverified.
  • RTL moved Show 4 to Sunday, March 29, because a DFB test match pre-empts Friday, and it will air a Good Friday highlights special before live shows resume on April 10.
