New Amazon show “Lights out”: Pietro Lombardi faces the experiment

New Amazon show “Lights out”
Pietro Lombardi faces the experiment

At the end of October, Amazon Prime Video will turn the “lights out” for eight celebrities. Now it has finally been decided which famous faces will face the challenge of living completely in the dark for five days. The official poster for the show was published on Thursday (September 12) on Prime Video Germany's Instagram account.

Pietro Lombardi and Luna Schweiger face the challenge

It shows that Pietro Lombardi, 32, is one of those taking part in the daring TV experiment. In addition to the singer, seven other prominent participants are trying to survive 120 hours without light and completing various tasks. Also taking part are the presenters Jeannine Michaelsen, 42, and Jochen Schropp, 45, Til Schweiger's daughter Luna Schweiger, 27, the stand-up comedians Negah Amiri, 31, and Timur Turga, as well as Markus Söder's daughter Gloria Burkandt, 25, and actor Gedeon Burkhard, 55.

A short clip shows a presenter, Steven Gätjen, 51, in the control room and the candidates shortly before the lights go out. “Oh my God, it's really dark,” one of them can be heard saying after it has become dark.

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

In the dark, the candidates have to overcome numerous tests and tasks and possibly overcome their fear of the dark. As Prime Video further announced, viewers can follow the action thanks to infrared and night vision camera technology.

The winner receives the “Lights Out” trophy

The celebrities can win privileges in various games – such as a short stay in a light room. But the tests are likely to be quite challenging, as everything has to be done in the dark. Even eating soup can be difficult. Anyone who can no longer stand the darkness can leave the show voluntarily at any time.

According to Prime Video, whoever survives the entire time has the chance to win the “Lights Out” trophy. The remaining participants will decide on the winner. From a control room, presenter Steven Gätjen and psychologist Sandra Sangsari will keep an eye on the situation and explain it to the viewers.
