- The multi-award-winning TV series "Switch Reloaded" is back.

- ProSieben * will not be home to the new edition of the comedy hit.
“Switch Reloaded” ran successfully on ProSieben for several years . The station reissued its predecessor “Switch” in 2007 after it came to an end in 2000. A reboot that paid off: for a total of five years, the skits by Michael Kessler , Martina Hill & Co. made the television audience laugh. For this, the show was rewarded with countless awards, such as the German Comedy Award and the German Television Award.
In 2012, however, it suddenly became quiet about “Switch Reloaded” . After the 6th season and a “Wetten, dass ..?” Special, ProSieben did not broadcast any new episodes. Why the station left the format behind is still to this day not fully clarified.
"Switch Reloaded" is back - with a new title and a new home
In any case, ProSieben has made no move to revive the format in recent years. Another company struck for this: Amazon secured the “Switch” rights. The comedy hit on Prime Video is set to celebrate its comeback under the new name “Binge Reloaded” , revealed Christoph Schneider, managing director of the streaming service, in an interview with DWDL magazine. Incidentally, the term "binge" is a reference to the new home of the comedy hit, because watching several series episodes on a streaming service is called "binge watching".
Incidentally, the “Switch” fans do not have to fear major changes in relation to the structure of the series. Still standing TV parodies in the foreground - a slightly stronger focus lies solely on sketches that relate to streaming content relate.
