Host Lena Gercke, Elvyra Geyer and Atil Kutoglu all returned as judges. The season premiered on 12 January 2012 and began with 21 semi-finalists, who were joined by Yemisi Rieger, who was chosen by Niki Lauda as a wildcard contestant at a separate casting. Sixteen contestants were chosen to advance to the main competition.
