Nicolas Puschmann (35) is part of the second season of "Villa der Versuchung". The Hamburg native, who became known in 2019 as the first "Prince Charming", announced his participation himself on Instagram and promoted his appearance on Sat.1 with a clip.
In an Instagram story, the 35-year-old also looks back at the moment when he received the plane ticket to Thailand in January 2026. "My first time doing reality without dating people - it will be unusual", he explains to the camera. His fans will get to know "a completely different side" of him, Puschmann also promises in another story.
Every Indulgence Reduces the Jackpot
The new round will air starting August 3 at 8:15 PM on the network and simultaneously on the streaming platform Joyn. The show's concept remains unchanged. Fourteen celebrities move into a villa for two weeks that only looks like paradise at first glance. Instead of soft beds and generous meals, hard mats and meager rations await. Every comfort costs money and is directly deducted from the shared prize pool, which starts at 250,000 euros.
Verona Pooth (58) will once again host the two weeks. In regular reckonings, the host takes stock of who has remained steadfast and who has shown weakness. Because every yielded temptation reduces the potential winnings for the entire group, solidarity quickly comes under pressure.
Additional names in the lineup for the second season have already been announced by Sat.1. This time, the cast includes actress Jenny Elvers, reality veteran Thorsten Legat, former Super-RTL children's host Paddy Kroetz, socialite Tatjana Gsell, and reality star Tommy Pedroni. The confirmed roster is completed by Roland Ludomirska, Elsa Latifaj, reality star Chika Ojiudo-Ambrose, Ballermann singer Frenzy Blitz, and content creator Erik Seidl, who appears online as "Satansbratan". Among the celebrities who are also said to be part of the cast are actress Jana Pallaske, also known as Jana Urkraft, Annika Kärsten-Hoenig, and entrepreneur Jens Hilbert.
From Dating Format to the Dance Floor
For Puschmann, the villa is not his first foray into television. In 2019, he searched for a partner among 20 men in the first season of "Prince Charming" on Crete, becoming the first protagonist of the show.
After that, he remained loyal to the screen. In 2021, he danced on "Let's Dance" together with Vadim Garbuzov as the first male couple in the German edition and finished in third place. That same year, he made his acting debut in the RTL series "Unter uns", portraying a gynecologist. He also appeared on "Das perfekte Dinner" and "Die Passion".
