Milestone Reached: "Ninja Warrior Germany" Celebrates Decade with Shocking Twists
The much-anticipated 10th anniversary season of "Ninja Warrior Germany" is upon us, and this year, the action-packed series is taking a new direction with the introduction of "Ninja Warrior Germany Kids Academy". The series, which will be filmed this year, is set to premiere on RTL+ on September 12, 2025, and on RTL on September 19, 2025[1].
This spin-off is designed for kids aged between 12 and 15, who will compete in an intense training camp under the guidance of some familiar faces from "Ninja Warrior Germany". The camp will be led by Melanie Schmidt, Ada Theilken, Lukas Homann, and Moritz Hans, who will serve as mentors for the young competitors[2]. Jessica Schön will take the reins as camp chief.
The series promises to deliver a mix of excitement, challenge, and fun, with "fun and unusual surprises" in all the preliminary rounds[3]. The competitors will be put through their paces, with only the best making it to the grand finale on the real Ninja stage.
Notable changes for this anniversary season include the departure of Frank Buschmann, the cult commentator who has been with the show for ten years. This will be his last season as commentator[2]. The popular presenting trio of Frank "Buschi" Buschmann, Jan Köppen, and Laura Wontorra will continue to host the show.
In total, twelve episodes will be aired in the anniversary season, with the series also airing on Toggo in addition to RTL+ and RTL[4]. The series is set to air this fall, with the anniversary season starting on September 19 on RTL and a week earlier on RTL+[1].
The 10th season of "Ninja Warrior Germany" promises to be a memorable one, with many athletes from previous seasons returning, including fan favorites who haven't competed in years[5]. This season is shaping up to be a celebration of the show's success and a testament to the enduring appeal of "Ninja Warrior Germany".
