TV program ZDF discontinues run - creators remain determined to resume production
Catching up with the gaming world: Is the end near for 'Game Two'?
Brace yourself, gamers, because we've got some big news coming your way! The much-loved gaming format, 'Game Two', has hit a bit of a roadblock, as its key collaboration with Rocket Beans TV is coming undone. But hey, whispers of secret negotiations are floating around, so let's see if we can't dig up some juicy deets!
In the beginning, 'Game Two' was like a phoenix rising from the ashes of the now-legendary MTV show, 'Game One', which graced our screens from 2006 to 2014. It's all about keeping you up-to-date on the ever-changing landscape of the gaming industry, and dishing out honest reviews on the latest games.
Here's the lowdown on the future of 'Game Two'
'Game Two' set up shop in 2016, thanks to a collaboration between Rocket Beans TV and funk, ARD and ZDF's youth internet offering. The switcheroo to ZDFneo went down on April 22, 2023, with episode 288. The man in charge of the format, Tim Heinke, confirmed this switch to inFranken.de.
Despite boasting a whopping half a million YouTube followers and scoring a nomination for the illustrious Grimme Prize 2024, the ZDF has decided to cut ties with Rocket Beans TV. The final joint episode, number 382, will air on ZDFneo on July 3, 2025, with the YouTube version dropping the Saturday before.
But wait, is this the end of the line for 'Game Two'? The editorial team ain't ready to give in just yet! "There's been some chatter, and talks are currently happening," Tim Heinke informed inFranken.de. "We're giving it our best shot to keep this baby going post-ZDFneo. As soon as we've got some solid news, believe us, you'll be the first to know!"
So strap in, gamers, because it seems our favorite gaming format might have a few tricks up its sleeve yet. Here's hoping we'll be able to tune in for more exciting adventures in the world of 'Game Two'!
Game Two might be exploring new avenues for entertainment, given the ongoing negotiations with potential partners following the ZDF's decision to end their collaboration with Rocket Beans TV. Amidst the changes, moviews-and-tv could potentially be a new venture for Game Two, especially considering its substantial following on YouTube and nomination for the Grimme Prize 2024.
