The show was put on hiatus after the penultimate episode was aired and the final hasn't been filmed yet due to financial difficulties of both the production company, Studio ATA and Mega Channel itself. Possible airdates are in the middle of May or in the end of June. The two finalists are Kostis Kampas and Mpampis Koudouris.
