City + Country = Love
Season 2 SWR dating documentary
First aired on: ARD media library from March 07, 2024 and SWR from May 27, Mondays at 8:15 p.m. 6 x 45 min
Flying high and falling far: whether you’re dating in a propeller plane or on a stand-up paddleboard, the height of fall is great. From March 7, 2024, five lonely craftsmen from the countryside will once again go in search of love from the city on ARD media library. The successful first season of the series was nominated for the German Television Award in two categories.
The second season once again promises exciting encounters between five charming craftsmen from rural regions and singles from the city.
This time they are: roofer Jonas from Mainz-Laubenheim, baker Tobias from Reinsfeld, painter Pietro from Meßkirch, hairdresser Dennis from Überlingen and tinsmith Christian from Neresheim. As host of the series, Collien Ulmen-Fernandes takes viewers to romantic landscapes in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate and shares heart-warming moments with them.
Aside from the romantic entanglements, the new season also focuses on the craftsmanship and the little time the craftsmen have for love in addition to their work. The personal stories and professions of the five craftsmen are also highlighted, while the question of great happiness remains ever-present until the grand finale at Lake Constance.
