Zattoo expands FAST line-up with comedy, western and 1980s classics

September 18, 2025 10.19 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

TV streaming provider Zattoo has expanded its portfolio of FAST Channels with three new additions: Pastewka, Bronco and Auf Achse.

The three channels, which are now available in Switzerland, Germany and Austria, bring together comedy, westerns and cult TV from the 1980s.

On Pastewka, viewers can watch all 10 seasons and 100 episodes of the award-winning comedy series starring Bastian Pastewka, who plays a fictionalised version of himself. The show, produced in collaboration with Banijay Media Germany, features Pastewka navigating relationship struggles, family disputes and neighbourly conflicts.

Bronco caters to western enthusiasts, offering a wide-ranging collection of films that spans timeless classics and cult favourites. Highlights include Companeros (1970), Seine Kugeln pfeifen das Todeslied (1969), Big Kill – Stadt ohne Gnade (2019) and Der Kampf der Brüder (1981).

The third new channel, Auf Achse, revives a cult series from the 1980s. The drama follows trucker Franz Meersdonk, portrayed by German TV legend Manfred Krug, travelling the world in his truck. Viewers can revisit all five seasons of the series.

“The steadily growing use of our now more than 70 FAST Channels demonstrates the enthusiasm of our customers for this offering. With the three new channels, we are not only further expanding this portfolio, but also presenting all viewers with even more outstanding content from their most popular genres,” said Constanze Gilles, Head of Consumer Business at Zattoo.
