What happens

Thuis (English: At Home) is a Belgian television soap opera, which airs on VRT 1, which is in the hands of VRT, the national broadcasting channel of the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium, Flanders. Until 2023 VRT produced the series but due to general cost savings it was decided in 2022 Eyeworks will take over the series. Thuis first aired on 23 December 1995, featuring Pol Goossen, Janine Bischops, Merel De Vilder Robier, Sally-Jane Van Horenbeeck, Annick Segal, Monika Van Lierde, Rik Andries and the late Donald Madder. Thuis grew to become Flanders' number one soap, gaining 900,000 viewers (compared to the highest rated TV show, receives 1.5 million viewers), and therefore beating competing for channel vtm's soap operas Familie (English: Family) and former series Wittekerke (English: White Church, a fictional town). Thuis is currently in its 31th season, and has aired 5,894 episodes as of 27 June 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
