ARD break for Rote Rosen”: This is what continues after winter!
The snowy winter months bring a welcome break for the popular ARD telenovelas “Rote Rosen” and “Sturm der Liebe”. The last new episode aired on December 19, 2023 before the series went on a winter break, which will last until January 12, 2026. The reason for this break, as is often the case in the run-up to Christmas, is to adapt the afternoon program to the festive celebrations and sporting events, such as broadcasts of winter sports events. Viewers will be entertained during the holidays with Christmas films and special programs, including “Hubert and Staller – A Nice Gift” and “Krauses Weihnacht” on December 22nd, as well as “Advent Child” on December 23rd moin.de reported.
This annual tradition isn't just a bit of a setback for spectators; The production also suffers from the reduced number of episodes. Compared to the past, when up to 230 episodes were produced per year, the number is now around 180. However, both formats are returning with vigor to continue telling their stories. The first broadcasts for 2026 are already scheduled for mid-January, according to the report from [digital Fernsehenen.de](https://www.digital Fernsehenen.de/news/contente/ Fernsehenen/rote-rosen-und-sturm-der-liebe-ard-kuendigt-winterpause-an-1163421/).
A bit of a breath of fresh air for the formats
Some interesting changes are coming from 2025. “Red Roses” and “Storm of Love” will in future be produced as 24-minute half-hours, which means that the programs will share a new time slot in the 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. hours. This not only represents an adjustment to current viewing habits, but also an opportunity for ARD to make space for new programs. Christine Strobl, the program director, had previously questioned the series due to the financial situation, but the producers are optimistic that these new formats will become more attractive, as dwdl.de reports.
However, viewers can look forward to the return of the two series. The ARD media library remains a valuable place to look up old episodes and specials until the new episodes are broadcast. Despite all the challenges in production planning, both telenovelas have a loyal fan base who are particularly happy about the exciting development of their characters.
Overall, the signs for 2026 are good - both for the series' loyal fans and for the producers who want to take advantage of new perspectives and opportunities. It will be exciting to see how winter inspires the return of the “Red Roses” and the “Storm of Love”!
