Season six of Spotlight will bring some big changes to the series - both in front of the camera and behind-the-scenes. Filming on the new season commenced on Monday 14th March 2022.
Instead of the show's previous supersized seasons comprising of thirty-plus 10-15 minute episodes, season six will be comprised of thirteen 22-minute episodes - a first for the show.
Update (21/6) - Spotlight season 6 will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ in Germany!
Filming for Spotlight season 6 is also moving to a new location. The new setting for the Berlin School of Arts campus is the FEZ-Berlin in Berlin, which is making its premises available for the new season in cooperation with the Landesmusikakademie. With new dance halls, a recording studio, a large concert hall, a cinema and a swimming pool, the new location offers the students - Greta (Chiara Tews), Rocco (Malcom Meckert), Emily (Nevena Schöneberg) and Sam (Jerome Weinert) completely new opportunities to pursue their dreams of success as dancers, singers and actors and have a lot of fun in the process.
The new school year also brings two new students to the BSA: Lenny (German Shulga) has a way with words like no other - perfect for the new Creative Writing course. And with Luna (Carlotta Truman), the school gains a new singing talent and the clique quickly makes a new friend. The teachers also get support: Mina (Shari Gall) takes over the singing lessons and the new dance teacher Anna (Mareike Zwahr) takes over the beginners' dance class.
The group of pupils is completed by Larissa (Leonie Pollok), Mads (Mike Leon Lichtenberg), Milan (Simon Zeller) and Lasse (Esmael Agostinho), who all have their own challenges to overcome in addition to their everyday school life. They have to overcome fears, forgive, trust and admit their own mistakes. Where will my path take me and who will be by my side - that is the big question!
In the sixth season, the students will again be visited and actively supported by numerous guest stars from TV, music and the world of influencers. They include TikTok stars JulesBoringLife and Twenty4Tim, singer Lotte, the band HE/RO and entrepreneur, choreographer and author Nikeata Thompson. GZSZ legend Wolfgang Bahro and Spotlight all-stars Lisa Küppers, HeyMoritz, Luana Knöll and Lea Mirzanli are also returning to the BSA as guest stars.
The new season is being filmed under strict adherence to extensive hygiene measures to minimise risk for cast and crew in relation to COVID-19.
Steffen Kottkamp, Brand Director Kids & Family Central Europe at Paramount: "No matter on which platform, Spotlight is a successful format that will become even more mature in the sixth season. We are looking forward to 13 x 22 minutes full of new impulses, new talents and lots of heart, music, dance and exciting stories."
The new episodes are once again produced by UFA Serial Drama in collaboration with Nickelodeon and ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS). Spotlight is edited by Wiebke Werner (Nickelodeon). Producer is Helga Löbel (UFA Serial Drama), producer is Florian Boesel (UFA Serial Drama).
