Watching Television - Schütte's latest ARD offering: A Tyrolean wedding improv show
A tentative release date for when the 45-camera filmed episodes in Itter, Kitzbühel, Tyrol will be aired on ARD Mediathek has yet to be announced. Approximately 250 hours of footage were produced, which will be condensed into six half-hour episodes.
In Shuette's (61) latest project, the Meurer and Hell families from Mecklenburg are brought together with the Pichler family in Tyrol. Stars like Martin Brambach, Luise von Finckh, Lena Klenke, Anja Kling, Gustav Schmidt, and Devid Striesow are already confirmed to participate, while Josephine Bloéb, Felix Kreutzer, Tobias Moretti, Roland Silbernagl, Felix Oitzinger, and Sonja Romei are also set to join the cast.
Shuette, a recipient of the prestigious Grimme Prize, and his co-director and producer Sebastian Schultz shared their excitement for the wedding-themed project: "After attending a funeral in 'Das Begräbnis' and celebrating Christmas in 'Das Fest der Liebe', we wanted to organize another family reunion. This time around, we thought a wedding would be ideal - a clash of two completely different families."
Press release issued on June 5, 2024.
