ProSieben reduces the broadcast of "The Simpsons" prior to the premiere of their new daily soap.
ProSieben is shaking up its primetime schedule with the introduction of a new show, 'Cooking News', produced by ITV Studios Germany. The half-hour show will air Monday to Friday at 6 PM, replacing 'News Time'.
'Cooking News' centres around Irini, a young chef, who finds herself in a 'whirlwind of unexpected emotions' between Chris and Rafael. Chris is portrayed as a rebellious bad boy with a dark secret, while Rafael is depicted as a shy culinary genius.
The show's CEO, Hannes Hiller, describes 'Cooking News' as a 'new color' for the network's primetime lineup. ProSieben has ordered 120 episodes initially for the series.
Meanwhile, fans of 'The Simpsons' will be pleased to know that the 36th season of the iconic show will air on ProSieben starting October 6th. However, there's a twist – the double-episode format will no longer be in place. Instead, a single episode will air at 6:40 PM, following 'Cooking News'.
The 36th season of 'The Simpsons' originally aired in the US from September 2024 to May 2025. Viewership data for recent episodes has been mixed, but the show remains a staple for many viewers.
Interestingly, the original premiere of 'Cooking News' was scheduled for spring 2022, but has been pushed back to 2026. Despite this delay, 'Galileo', the science magazine, continues to air at its usual time of 7:05 PM, unaffected by the changes in ProSieben's schedule.
In conclusion, ProSieben's new primetime schedule, starting October 6th, promises an exciting blend of familiar favourites and fresh new content. Whether you're a fan of cooking shows, science documentaries, or long-running animated series, there's something for everyone. Tune in to ProSieben to witness these changes and discover the new stories that await!
