Season two of the VTM series starring Charlotte Timmers and Ward Kerremans can be seen on Streamz from Thursday, March 7.
In the second season of Billie vs Benjamin we follow our beloved characters again, but right-wing Benjamin (Kerremans) and left-wing Billie (Timmers) are heavily pregnant! Despite their contradictions, the relationship has endured, but this time they encounter a minefield of new decisions about their child's education: multicultural neighborhood versus picturesque village? Washable diapers or disposable? Plastic or wooden toys?
The conflict is only made more complicated by the outspoken opinions of godmother Marie (Joke Emmers) and godfather Tommie (Jeroen Perceval). But life really takes a dramatic turn when Benjamin, who has only recently become a victim of senseless violence, directs his anger at some young people in their neighborhood.
The first season of Billie vs Benjamin has been watched daily on Streamz since its launch in January 2022. What's more: the series has received at least 100 views per day since its launch (and has done so for 724 days). So not a day goes by that no one watches Billie and Benjamin! And the story about Billie and Benjamin also appealed to people internationally. The series was voted Best Series at the International TV Series Festival in Berlin and later also won the Intermedia Globe Silver Award for best miniseries within the entertainment category at the World Media Festival in Hamburg.
In this follow-up season, Charlotte Timmers and Ward Kerremans again play the outspoken Billie and Benjamin. But Joke Emmers and Jeroen Perceval also return as godmother Marie and godfather Tommie. They haven't changed one bit. Marie is still a fanatical vegan and do-gooder, and Tommie is still a blabbermouth who can be politically incorrect.
In this second season they still prefer not to come near each other and they once again want to be right when it comes to the upbringing of their godchildren and godchildren. Yet they soon notice that they too must put their contradictions aside for the baby, even if they want to maintain the strong bond with their best friends. Mieke De Groote and Frank Focketyn also get a bigger role in this season as the meddling grandparents.
This season, Ruben Block closes his beach chair and we go on a picnic with Ferre Van den Broeck (2DEZIT). Ferre plays the new character Nora who also serves as the new narrator. The viewer discovers who this girl with the deep thoughts and very personal view of Billie and Benjamin's choices is in the series.
Billie vs Benjamin is the latest production of Shelter (Wat Als?, Safety First and Studio Tarara). The series is a co-production with VTM with the support of the Flemish Audiovisual Fund. Billie vs Benjamin was written by David Vennix, Seppe Toremans and Tim Van Aelst. It is directed by Wesley Jacobs and Tim Van Aelst. All six episodes can be seen in full from Thursday, March 7 on Streamz and later on VTM.
