ProSieben under starters orders for German version of Catch Us If You Can

Catch Us will air from November 10 to 12

German commercial broadcaster ProSieben has commissioned a local-language adaptation of Dutch reality chase format Catch Us If You Can.

Produced by Redseven Entertainment (Eden), it will be locally titled Catch Us – Die Jagd Durch Europa and is scheduled to air in a primetime slot across three consecutive nights from November 10 to November 12. It will also screen on streaming platform Joyn.

Filming begins in mid-October in Cologne, where three celebrities will make their escape from the studio before embarking on a five-day chase through three major European cities. Hot on their heels are six teams of hunters who, supported by their online communities, will do everything they can to track them down and catch them.

The format was co-developed by Signal.Stream (Most Wanted) and RTL Creative Unit in collaboration with John de Mol’s Talpa Studio for RTL4 in the Netherlands, streamer Videoland and YouTube.

Sebastian van Barneveld, directorof global distribution at Talpa Studios, said: “We’re excited to see Catch Us build international momentum, and ProSieben’s three-night primetime event is a perfect fit for the format.”
