In 2024, host, psychologist, and former "Wer wird Millionär?" winner (2015) Leon Windscheid (37) already traveled to the metropolises of New York, Istanbul, and Paris as part of the ZDF series "Terra X: Weltstädte". Soon, Windscheid will once again explore the question of what actually makes a city of millions a world metropolis.
London - Secret Places and Tea à la "Bridgerton"
Starting August 30, "Terra X: Weltstädte" returns with three new episodes, each dedicated to a famous metropolis. To kick things off, he travels to London and showcases the well-known and lesser-known advantages of the capital of the United Kingdom.
On his to-do list are conversations with some of the approximately nine million residents of the city on the Thames, a look behind the scenes of centuries-old guilds, and a tea ceremony in the style of "Bridgerton".
Tokyo - A Perfectly Oiled Machine
One week later, on September 6, Windscheid travels to the Japanese megacity of Tokyo. What makes this metropolis so special: Hardly any major city in the world is as clean, safe, and reliable as this city of millions.
How did the former fishing village become such a well-oiled machine in which the common good seems to stand above all else?
Rome - The "Eternal City" with Plenty of Character
To conclude on September 13, Leon Windscheid heads to the Italian capital of Rome. Together with archaeologists, restorers, and civil engineers, the "Terra X" host wants to explore how Rome became the "Eternal City".
Naturally, Rome's greatest distinction will also be highlighted - after all, it is the only city in the world on whose territory another state, the enclave of Vatican City, is located.
All Episodes Available Early in the Media Library
Those who cannot wait until mid-September to watch all three new episodes of "Terra X: Weltstädte" on linear television can stream the episodes starting August 26 in the ZDF media library.
