Beatrice Egli's show is canceled

«The Show of Dreams,» a co-production by ARD and SRF, has been canceled after two episodes. Viewer interest was particularly low in Germany—though the show was well received in Switzerland.

As the news portal Fm1today.ch reports, production partner ARD has pulled the emergency brake: The second show only achieved a market share of 9.6 percent, which is too low for the makers. On German television, 2.57 million people watched on Saturday - only minimally less than the first edition (2.59 million viewers, market share 11.3 percent).

Beatrice Egli, who made her breakthrough in the RTL casting show "Deutschland sucht den Superstar", scored points with her show in her home country. The "Show der Träume" was well received by the SRF audience. With 422,000 viewers, the second edition showed a considerable increase of 133,000 compared to the first show. SRF's Head of Entertainment Christoph Gebel therefore has nothing but praise for the show - Egli has "done an excellent job" and they are "definitely staying in touch for further collaborations and projects", the portal quotes him as saying. In a co-production, however, it has to be right for both partners.

"Show of Dreams" was announced in February 2015 (Werbewoche.ch reported) and recorded for the first time in June 2015. (hae)
