Big Brother Germany is a reality show on RTL II (with a 24h live broadcast on German pay channel Premiere/Sky). It was the first adapted version based on the original Dutch Big Brother series by Endemol in 1999. Big Brother Germany first aired on 28 February 2000 and ended 11 years later on 12 September 2011. After a two-year hiatus the series was brought and revamped by Sat.1 as Promi Big Brother, the first celebrity series of the German version. Cindy aus Marzahn and Oliver Pocher were announced as the new presenters of the revived show in August 2013.
