After 25 seasons in the Netherlands, Hello Goodbye is continuing its international journey with Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP), which has announced a new local adaptation for Belgian broadcaster VRT.

Created by WBITVP label BlazHoffski, the format has generated more than 500 episodes worldwide, and now spans 14 international versions across territories including Canada, Brazil, France and Italy.

Set in a busy airport terminal, Hello Goodbye captures the stories behind arrivals and departures, revealing the moments of love, hope, excitement and heartbreak that accompany everyday journeys. Through simple conversations on the scene, viewers see the touching reunions, emotional farewells and remarkable stories that are told on any given day.

The new series will be produced by WBITVP Belgium and will air on VRT 1 and VRT MAX. Filmed at Brussels Airport and hosted by actor, television and radio presenter Manu Van Acker, the series will meet travellers passing through the terminal and uncover the stories behind their journeys.

Manu Van Acker commented, “The airport is a wonderful place where so many stories can be found. Everyone arriving or departing is there for a reason. Moreover, Brussels Airport is the centre of Europe. I am therefore really looking forward to gathering stories from people and taking a peek into their lives. Every new conversation is a surprise; you never know what is coming, and that is what makes Hello Goodbye so exciting.”

André Renaud, GVP Format & Finished Sales at WBITVP, said, “Hello Goodbye is a format I’ve always had a real affection for because of the way it uncovers the powerful stories in the simple act of saying goodbye or welcoming a loved one home. I remember watching the UK version when it originally aired and am delighted that our talented team at WBITVP Belgium will be working with VRT to capture those moments for Belgian viewers later this year.”
