Farewell to "The Duel Around the World": What's Next for Joko and Klaas?

The news dropped like a bomb at the season screening in Hamburg: "The Duel Around the World" is coming to its final round. Yes, you heard right! The upcoming season, which will air in the fall, is the final season. ProSieben will then present us with three brand new "Legends" episodes, bringing back the greatest moments and perhaps the craziest challenges of the show. One last time, we can cheer along as the celebrities embark on the most adventurous situations for Joko and Klaas.

Why is it ending?

Although "The Duel Around the World" still delivered top ratings and achieved double-digit market shares in the relevant target group, Joko and Klaas feel that the story of this show is "fully told." Klaas Heufer-Umlauf explained that part of the quality of their collaboration is to end formats as soon as they feel they are done with them. This is a bold decision that shows how important creative freedom and the quality of their projects are to them. Fans may remember that they also ended "Circus Halligalli" and "Late Night Berlin" for similar reasons, whenever they felt they had said everything.

What's next for Joko and Klaas?

Anyone now fearing that Joko and Klaas will completely disappear from the scene can breathe a sigh of relief! ProSieben is already diligently planning further projects with the two. In addition to a continuation of the popular show "A Very Good Quiz," we can also look forward to new editions of "Joko and Klaas vs. ProSieben." This means that even though an era is ending, the duo remains firmly anchored in the program and will surely provide us with many more unforgettable TV moments. We can be excited to see what new crazy ideas they will pull out of the hat next!
