Ratings Sink For ProSieben’s AI Duet Show After Second Episode

The ratings slump puts the show's future in doubt.

Overview

  • The series drew about 4.6% of 14–49 viewers and roughly 510,000 total viewers in its second outing, down from a weak premiere, according to industry tallies.
  • ProSieben ordered only two broadcasts and has not announced more, and trade coverage now sees a renewal as unlikely given the slide.
  • The format pairs current artists with digital recreations of late icons using deepfake-style visuals, with the shows airing on ProSieben and streaming free on Joyn.
  • Samu Haber won the latest “Legenden-Duett des Abends” for a performance with a virtual Freddie Mercury, as reported by BILD.
  • Reactions online ranged from warm praise to discomfort, while producer Endemol Shine Germany called the concept an innovation and said any international rollout would depend on demand.
