After just 77 episodes, the TV duo is over!
ProSieben takes on the journal program “Zervakis & Opdenhövel. Live.” from the program. The private broadcaster announced on Friday in Unterföhring near Munich that the 77th and therefore the last edition would be shown on December 20th. Things won’t continue in 2024.
The new ProSieben boss Hannes Hiller (52) said: “This is a very painful decision not to continue #ZOL 2024. I would like to thank the #ZOL editorial team and our moderators Linda Zervakis and Matthias Opdenhövel for always working on #ZOL with the utmost commitment and great passion.”

After ex-“Tagesschau” spokeswoman Zervakis (48) moved from ARD to ProSieben, she and Opdenhövel (53) have been presenting the format, which is a mix of information and entertainment, on Monday evenings at prime time at 8:15 p.m. since September 2021.
Odds in the basement
The program was part of an attempt by the ProSiebenSat.1 broadcasting group to become more serious and to present more journalistic content in the program.
But it became clear relatively quickly that the TV ratings would not skyrocket. After two months, ProSieben started a rescue attempt and moved the weekly broadcast slot to later Wednesday evenings after the comedy show “TV total”.

A few weeks ago the ratings ended up completely plummeting.
According to “DWDL” “Zervakis & Opdenhövel. Live” in October had its lowest ratings in just over a year.
In the press release, ProSieben did not give any specific reason why the format was being discontinued. Channel boss Hiller said about the future: “ProSieben will not reduce its journalistic commitment. In the future, we will try to broadcast more reports in prime time under the label “ProSieben THEMA.”
We want to continue to work closely and trustingly with Zervakis and Opdenhövel.
