Paramount Global Content Distribution welcomes the latest series in its extensive roster of international formats with the February 5 premiere of comedy panel game show “Neo Social Club mit Laura Larsson” on ZDF Neo, marking the first international version of the CBS and Comedy Central late-night unscripted format AFTER MIDNIGHT and Paramount’s first format to be produced for ZDF.

“Neo Social Club mit Laura Larsson” will feature German podcaster and influencer Laura Larsson as host, a role held by Taylor Tomlinson in the CBS U.S. version. It is produced by Constantin Entertainment. The hilarious eight-episode first season will test the internet savvy of German personalities from the worlds of music, entertainment, sports and more as Larsson challenges them to unpack the biggest pop culture trends of the day.

As RTL+’s leading reality series on the platform, ARE YOU THE ONE? was recently renewed for seasons 13 and 14, which includes a new season of the hugely popular celebrity version REALITY STARS IN LOVE and EX ON THE BEACH has confirmed a seventh season. Season 20 of GERMANY’S NEXT TOPMODEL was ranked the #2 performing unscripted series in Germany* and the series remains a cornerstone in ProSieben’s schedule with a renewal deal recently signed that will see the format on air for several years.

“We are thrilled to announce the first-ever international adaptation of AFTER MIDNIGHT in Germany,” said Laura Burrell, Head of International Formats, Paramount Global Content Distribution. “Constantin Entertainment has produced a wonderfully entertaining show and Laura Larsson absolutely shines in her role as host. We look forward to it launching on ZDF this February.  Paramount is equally delighted to see the return of its reality formats GERMANY’S NEXT TOPMODEL on ProSieben and EX ON THE BEACH and ARE YOU THE ONE? on RTL+, demonstrating that the appetite for this genre is still as high as ever in Germany.”
