Prime Video announced the new reality show back in February. The idea: In “Lights Out,” eight stars have to immerse themselves in absolute darkness for 120 hours. The six episodes are presented by Steven Gätjen and will be available from October 31st.

In the dark, participants must pass various tests and overcome any fear of the dark. According to Prime Video, viewers will be able to follow the event thanks to infrared and night vision camera technology.

The winner won the “Lights Out” trophy

In various competitions, the celebrities can win privileges – such as a short stay in a light room. But the tests could definitely be difficult, after all, everything has to be done in the dark. Even spooning soup could be challenging. Anyone who can no longer stand the darkness should be allowed to leave the show voluntarily at any time.

However, according to Prime Video, whoever lasts the entire time has the chance to win the “Lights Out” trophy. The remaining competitors will decide on the winner. From a control area, presenter Steven Gätjen and psychologist Sandra Sangsari keep an eye on the situation and explain it to the viewer.
