Dutch actor and musician Hendrik Jan Bökkers will appear with his family in a six-part reality series, AVROTROS has announced. The programme, *Bökkers, Leaven in de Brouweri-je*, will begin on NPO 1 on 21 December, with an episode broadcast each day.
The series will follow Bökkers’ busy career as well as family life on their farm in Ruurlo, in the Achterhoek region. It will include his wife Martine’s surrogacy journey: she is carrying a child for a second time for their close friends Wouter and Michael.
Bökkers, known for his role in the television drama *Woeste Grond* and as a musician with the band Bökkers, said filming had made him laugh. “You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look, and believe me: there’s always something happening at our place,” he said in a statement, adding that they had simply let the cameras run. He said he was curious to hear viewers’ reactions.
