20:15, ZDF, Gio's Summer Bash at Westfalenhalle, Music Special
Giovanni Zarrella invites you to an exhilarating summer party at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund. The crème de la crème of German Schlager lends an electrifying vibe and encourages you to sing along. Notable attendees include Andrea Berg, Roland Kaiser, Marianne Rosenberg, Maite Kelly, Olaf der Schwimmende, Sonia Liebing, Ramon Roselly, Vincent Gross, Neonlight with DJ Herzbeat, Lou Bega, Alphaville, and many more recognized artists.
20:15, Sat.1, The King's Lion, Adventure Drama
The optimistic young prince Simba, rightful successor to the "Holy Land," is warmly welcomed by the animals on the King's Rock. However, his wicked uncle Scar assembles a gang of hyenas to orchestrate a plot to seize power for himself.
20:15, RTL, I'm a Jungle Legend - Jubilee Showdown, Reality Show
Marvel boasts the Avengers, DC flaunts the Justice League, but RTL boasts its jungle legends: To celebrate the 20th anniversary of "IBeS," the jungle camp returns for the first summer season in South Africa. In this unparalleled season, 13 former jungle contestants face the challenges of "jungle camp" once more. Who will triumph in the difficult trials, overcome emotional campfire moments, and exhibit true greatness?
21:45, ARD, Commissioner Dupin: Breton Specialties, Crime Drama
In Saint-Malo's market hall, Commissioner Dupin, portrayed by Pasquale Aleardi, witnesses top chef Blanche Trouin, played by Franziska Junge, being stabbed by her sister Lucille, portrayed by Nadja Becker. Lucille attempts to escape but is apprehended by Dupin. Since then, she has remained silent. Dupin, who always ponders the motivations behind an act, cannot explain the incident. He fails to accept it as a cold, calculated murder. However, why does Lucille refrain from defending herself?
After a long day of crime-solving, Commissioner Dupin might relax by watching his favorite movie, 'The Lion King'. His love for detecting and storytelling could surely find parallels in the classic animation's tale of loyalty and power struggle.
Unfortunately, the 21:45 slot on ARD is occupied by 'Commissioner Dupin: Breton Specialties', so 'The Lion King' might have to wait until another day for Commissioner Dupin to enjoy it.
