Overview
- Sat.1 confirmed Monday that the second season of Villa der Versuchung will begin airing on 3 August 2026 on Sat.1 and on the Joyn stream.
- The format remains the same with 14 celebrity contestants competing for a communal €250,000 jackpot that shrinks whenever participants buy comforts and the show will keep regular Abrechnungszeremonies to tally spending.
- Production has finished in Thailand near Phuket where the contestants filmed in February and the broadcaster has not yet revealed the celebrity cast for the new season.
- Host Verona Pooth said the season adds a daily 'Kracher des Tages' item she called 'homeshopping on reality steroids' and that she will press contestants more in the accounting rounds to expose secrets and speed conflicts.
- Pooth has relocated with her family to Dubai after selling their Meerbusch home and said she would not forbid her son Diego from reality TV once he finishes his university studies in Berlin, noting Diego won Let’s Dance in 2025; last season left only €9,199 of the original jackpot, underlining the format’s tension between luxury and group payout.
