While they have lots of time to build friendships and have fun, they also must take responsibility for their everyday lives, handling the cooking, cleaning and shopping.<\/p>\n<p><em>Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents<\/em> has been airing on Germany\u2019s KiKA channel since 2009. The boys edition has over 140 episodes in eight seasons, and the girls edition has more than 130 episodes in seven seasons. There are have been several specials, spin-offs and brand extensions, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Boersen, head of the children&#8217;s department at NTR, the public broadcaster in the Netherlands, said: \u201c<em>Zonder Ouders op Vakantie<\/em> (<em>ZOOV<\/em>) is the Dutch version of <em>Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents<\/em>. It is wonderful to see how during the trip, the young teenagers not only get to know each other, but also themselves. By taking on challenges and overcoming fears, they realize that they can already do a lot on their own, but may still have some things to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jan-Frederik Maul, Director Junior at ZDF Studios, added, \u201c<em>Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents<\/em> is captivating for young viewers because they get to see their peers in a unique set-up. Getting in the shoes of an adult for a limited amount of time with both its freedom and responsibilities is a unique experience for the protagonists and viewers. The success of the format is partly based on the fact that the young viewers can identify with the cast and project themselves into the situation of living together with the Housemates. Seeing their heroes going about their daily lives, discussing relevant issues at eye level, and having loads of fun has shown to be a very connecting viewing experience. Respect, diversity and positivity in resolving issues, are the core values of this format which is easily adaptable and would appeal to junior audiences everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZDF Studios has scored the international format distribution rights for Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents, a children\u2019s reality show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":25481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[8045,6530,451,8046,3467,6434],"class_list":["post-25480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-housemates-vacation-without-parents","tag-jan-frederik-maul","tag-kika","tag-lisa-boersen","tag-ntr","tag-zdf-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ZDF Studios to Distribute Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-housemates-vacation-without-parents\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ZDF Studios to Distribute Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ZDF Studios has scored the international format distribution rights for Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents, a children\u2019s reality show.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-housemates-vacation-without-parents\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-07-13T14:08:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/ZDFStudios-HousematesLivingWithoutParents-0723.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-housemates-vacation-without-parents\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-housemates-vacation-without-parents\/\",\"name\":\"ZDF Studios to Distribute Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-07-13T14:08:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-07-13T14:08:58+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-housemates-vacation-without-parents\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-housemates-vacation-without-parents\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/zdf-studios-to-distribute-housemates-vacation-without-parents\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"ZDF Studios to Distribute Housemates\u2014Vacation Without Parents\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
