Princess Charming is a German reality dating show that premiered on May 25, 2021. It is streaming on TVNOW, operated by the RTL media group, in German. The show features women-identifying and non-binary contestants[1] and is modeled after Prince Charming (started in 2019).[2]
On June 22, 2021 RTL officially renewed the series for a second season which is set to premiere in 2022.[3]
Format[]
The original concept of Princess Charming, opening casting calls in October 2020, was to have a bisexual female lead, while the contestants were supposed to be lesbian or bisexual women and heterosexual men.[4] However, the channel, in response to audience and applicant requests, changed the show concept to focus on a lesbian lead in December of the same year.[5]
Unlike The Bachelor's "rose ceremony" or Prince Charming's black tie ceremony, contestants are eliminated if they are asked by the Princess Charming to take off and return the necklace they had previously been given.
Season 1[]
Season 1 premiered on May 25, 2021 with Irina Schlauch as the first "Princess Charming," or show lead. Irina is a lawyer from Cologne who enjoys action sports and soccer and has a twin sister. Irina, 30, said in an interview that she is a fan of Prince Charming and wanted to "create more visibility and acceptance" for lesbian women through the show's format.[6] The season, which was filmed on the Greek island of Crete, was composed of nine episodes and one reunion special.
At the Reunion, Irina and Lou announced they did not become a couple after filming the finale.
