The Voice Senior was a German reality talent show created by John de Mol, based on the concept The Voice of Germany. However, participation is only open for candidates more than 60 years old.[1] It began airing on December 23, 2018 on Sat.1, but after the second season the producers and the tv channel cancelled the show, due to low ratings.[2]
There were four different stages to the show: producers' auditions, blind auditions, sing-offs, and finale. There have been two winners: Dan Lucas (64) and Monika Smets (68).
The show was originally presented by current hosts of The Voice of Germany, Lena Gercke and Thore Schölermann. The coaches were feature familiar faces from The Voice of Germany and The Voice Kids, including Mark Forster, The BossHoss, Yvonne Catterfeld, Sasha Schmitz and Michael Patrick Kelly.[3]
The German version of The Voice Senior was the third version of The Voice Senior produced worldwide, after the original Dutch version and the Russian version.
