The battle between good and evil is told in an exciting, contemporary style. The Final Days (producer: OLGA Film) is a two-part event about the last few months of the German Democratic Republic.

The ten contestants, who have never been outside their own country, follow in the footsteps of their forebears and have to master a variety of tasks. The participants learn to enjoy life in the wild, and can earn access to pieces of their family tree, besides getting to know the country and its people. The season finale is a happy ending in which the best of the genealogical researchers gets to meet his distant relatives from Europe. This emotion-packed concept is transferable to any country that has a history of emigration.

The Spanish prime-time concept uses a survey to find out what goes on behind closed bedroom doors.

In every episode of The Business Coach (producer: UFA Film & TV-Produktion) a coach helps a mom-and-pop business to recover from financial troubles. Fata Morgana (producer: SULTAN SUSHI) is a light entertainment show with a community spirit. A celebrity sets a total of five almost insurmountable tasks for a whole small town. The people can achieve the (apparently) impossible only by joining forces. At the end of the week they present the results in a big event.

GO IV (producer: SULTAN SUSHI) is an action game show in which two teams of four kids between 9 and 14 compete in various exciting feats.

Upcoming Events: Cloud Chasers (producer: Caligari Film- und Fernsehproduktion) are young pilots who love their job. They set off on a quest for a strange weather phenomenon that forced one of them to make an emergency landing. As the protagonists investigate the dangerous caprices of the atmosphere, they get into trouble and discover the power of nature. Crash Point: Berlin (producer: Hager Moss Film) also plays out in the skies. A passenger jet goes out of control and is heading straight for the center of Berlin. Those responsible on the ground have to make difficult decisions in a terribly short time: evacuate the capital, or shoot down the plane? Jonathan Fall also faces difficult questions in the action thriller Circle of Blood (producer: Typhoon).
