It is not yet clear when the seventh season can be seen with us. The shooting for the new season will only start this summer. Fortunately, fans of the Meilandjes do not have to miss their favorite family all the time. Since 11 May you can watch a new program of the Meiland family on VTM2: ‘De Meilandjes without money’.

In ‘De Meilandjes without pennies’, Martien Meiland’s flamboyant family abandons all luxury and puts them in the shoes of families who have to make do with much less. Martien, Erica, Maxime and her two daughters exchange their million-dollar house for a modest rental house and have to get by on a living wage for a month. The series received quite a bit of criticism from our northern neighbours, where the program was previously broadcast. “Poverty is no laughing matter. It certainly isn’t entertainment. For many people this is not pleasant entertainment, but the harsh reality of life” and “Handy, isn’t it, that that annoying poverty is over after a month”, are just a few examples of the many harsh reactions.
