Season 2024 of the beloved Dutch TV series 'Een Huis Vol' is set to kick off on December 23, 2024, bringing viewers four weeks of family drama and joy. With each family’s unique challenges and experiences, this season promises as much excitement as ever.
Featuring the Blom, Bakhcha, Cudogham, and Wildeman families, the show offers a glimpse behind the curtain at what life is like for large families. Typically, the series runs for just two weeks, but this year’s edition has been extended to provide more content for its dedicated fans.
The Blom family is undergoing significant changes this season as parents Maarten and Gerdien tackle the task of remodeling their home to accommodate their growing children. Their ten-year-old son, Gideon, is set to receive his own bedroom for the very first time, but with this renovation, tensions and laughter are sure to follow. Maarten commented on their process, teasingly noting, “I think they won’t be happy if we all come along,” referring to the chaos renovations can bring.
Meanwhile, the Bakhcha family is relishing the joys of summer vacation. They break from their usually strict routines to celebrate significant moments like Saad’s twelfth birthday with unique experiences, including boat trips through Amsterdam and dining out at all-you-can-eat restaurants. Ali and Samira, the parents, now find themselves faced with the task of transitioning their children back to the school routine after such festive and carefree holiday times.
Another focal point this season is the impending arrival of the Wildeman family's eighth child. This addition brings with it both excitement and anxiety for parents Lukas and Priscilla. Priscilla’s pregnancy is more intense this time around, considering she is now 40, reflecting, “The symptoms are two times worse than before.” Such candid moments give insights not only to her personal struggles but also to how their children, some old enough to understand the gravity of the situation, deal with the news of their growing family. During their hospital appointment for the all-important echo, Priscilla expressed her excitement, stating, “It’s been so long, it’s such relief to find out everything is healthy.”
On the other hand, the Cudogham family prepares for their own adventure as they set off for Marseille for what promises to be a memorable train vacation. Coordinated planning is key, especially with seven children, as the family takes the opportunity to explore together, experience local culture, and bond through shared memories—making it clear once again how family time shapes life's happiest moments.
'Een Huis Vol' continues to resonate with audiences by showcasing these dynamic portrayals of family life, particularly the joys and trials of managing large families. What resonates most with viewers is the authenticity behind the challenges these families face amid the chaos.
