  • “MAISON TABOU” premieres September 30 at 11:35 p.m. on RTLZWEI and is available seven days early on RTL+

What happens when, on a first date, it’s not your job, where you live, or your age that matter—but rather physical attraction, sexual fantasies, and your gut feeling? In the new dating show MAISON TABOU, singles check into a very special hotel where desire is an explicit part of getting to know each other. Sensual blind dates, irresistible seduction, steamy surprises, passionate chemistry, and plenty of physical intimacy—MAISON TABOU is built on these five pillars. At check-in, the adventurous singles shed their true identities. It’s not until breakfast together that the masks come off: The guests find out who’s really sitting across from them—and with whom they’ve been getting up close and personal. MAISON TABOU premieres September 30 at 11:35 p.m. on RTLZWEI and is available seven days in advance on RTL+.

In its new reality dating show *MAISON TABOU*, RTLZWEI creates a space for sensual blind dates and physical intimacy. *Maison Tabou* is all about desire, curiosity, and the question of how people interact when they can openly embrace their sexual desires. Singles meet like-minded people with whom they can share sensual and physical experiences. Can a genuine connection develop between two people when expectations and traditional dating conventions take a back seat?

“Madame,” the mysterious hostess of “Maison Tabou,” oversees everything that happens. She knows her guests, arranges the dates, and watches over the encounters from behind the scenes. However, the singles never actually see Madame. Together with her team, she creates an environment where guests can get to know one another in a relaxed setting and explore their sexual desires without taboos.

The singles are united by a common desire: They’re not just looking for an exciting night, but for someone with whom something more can develop even outside the hotel. Whether the intense closeness—without names or backgrounds—actually lasts will become clear the next morning. It’s not until they have breakfast together that the guests find out who is really sitting across from them and with whom they’ve gotten up close and personal.

Then the decision is made: Was it just a special night—or are two people leaving together?

MAISON TABOU premieres on September 30, 2026, and airs every Wednesday at 11:35 p.m. on RTLZWEI, with episodes available seven days in advance on RTL+. The show is produced by UFA Show & Factual.
