Sat.1 Sets Jörg Pilawa’s ‘Wer ist Deutschlands Superhirn?’ for Summer 2026

Sat.1 positions the cognitive-skills contest as a fresh anchor for its revamped Thursday quiz block.

Overview

  • The broadcaster confirmed the title and said the show will launch in summer 2026, with an exact premiere date still to be announced.
  • The German version adapts France’s Le Dernier Cercle, focusing on tasks in logic, memory, spatial thinking, visual perception, arithmetic and language rather than factual trivia.
  • Fifty contestants start in six concentric circles and are eliminated round by round until two finalists compete for up to €50,000.
  • Tresor TV produces the series, with international distribution handled by Warner Bros. International TV Ltd.
  • The program will air on Sat.1 and stream on Joyn as part of a broader lineup change that halts new episodes of The Floor, The Connection and Hast du Töne?, with Das große Allgemeinwissensquiz paused.
