Das große Promi-Büßen: Cosimo wants to be taken seriously from 26 October
Before season 5 begins on Joyn, Cosimo Citiolo says he wants viewers to see more than his loud television moments.
Published
Cosimo Citiolo is joining season 5 of “Das große Promi-Büßen”. Ahead of its 26 October launch, the “Checker vom Neckar” tells Joyn that he wants to be recognised for more than his loud and revealing television moments. The question is which side of him Olivia Jones will see during the “Runde der Schande”.
Cosimo’s intention before the show
Joyn quotes Cosimo as saying he wants to be taken more seriously. He speaks self-critically about occasions when he acted without thinking or took his clothes off. Before the broadcast, it is unclear exactly what the show will confront him with. RSHOF is therefore not attributing specific allegations to him.
Cosimo has appeared in several reality formats in recent years and won “Promis unter Palmen” in 2025. He is now moving to a show centred on facing Olivia Jones and responding to his own behaviour. Marwin Klute, Georgina Fleur and Aleks Petrovic are also among the announced cast.
Two episodes at launch
Joyn has announced season 5 for Monday, 26 October 2026, with the first two episodes available free at launch. The current schedule gives the SAT.1 premiere as 24 November at 22:10 German time. Until the episodes have aired, departures, placings and the precise content of the “Runde der Schande” remain open.
