• Successful real-life documentary from Warnemünde returns
• Season 1 impresses with strong viewing figures on YouTube and Instagram

Cologne, 08.05.2026. The beach is calling again! After the successful start of the first season, the real-life documentary STRANDKINDER, produced by UFA Show & Factual, is entering its second round. From May 10, a new episode will be released every Sunday exclusively on the official STRANDKINDER YouTube channel. It will feature all the familiar faces from the first season, who will once again provide authentic insights into their life and work on the beach in Warnemünde.

The first season not only impressed in terms of content, but also with strong success figures on social media platforms: STRANDKINDER achieved around 250,000 views and 8,900 hours of playback time on YouTube. Clips from the series generated over eight million views on Instagram. Particularly successful: a clip of beach stall operator Uli that went viral and reached 7.6 million views.

In its second season, STRANDKINDER continues to tell the story of adventure, passion and the special atmosphere on Warnemünde beach. Up-close, spontaneous and emotional, the series accompanies its protagonists through their everyday lives – with all the challenges, big moments and little stories that make life by the sea so unique.

Season 2 sees a reunion with the young clique around the WAL Bar, jetboard rental company Erik, who is planning another world record, as well as influencers Kimi and Ronny – and of course beach chair rental company Uli.

STRANDKINDER is a production and in-house development of UFA Show & Factual in cooperation with A19.me.

New episodes of the second season will be available from May 10, 2026, always on Sundays, exclusively on YouTube. Selected clips and exclusive content will continue to appear on the STRANDKINDER Instagram channel.
