ZDF is keeping the future of the classic show "Wetten, dass...?" open. "Now we're taking a break to think about it, in keeping with the James Bond title 'Never say never'," ZDF boss Norbert Himmler told the news agency DPA.
Himmler said of the show at the end of November, which was hosted by Thomas Gottschalk for the last time: "It was a great, nostalgic moment that we experienced. It showed the strength and power of the format once again."
ZDF discontinued the classic show, which was launched in the 1980s and was also shown on Swiss television, in 2014 due to falling ratings. There was a retro show in 2021, followed by two more editions in 2022 and this November with a remarkable 12.13 million viewers.
