Vox, RedSeven enter Old People’s Home

Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds

German network Vox has ordered a local version of a UK format that sees elderly people brought together with four-year-olds.

RedSeven Entertainment, part of Germany’s Red Arrow Studios, is behind the local remake of Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds, which is sold globally by the production group’s sales arm. Filming will begin on September 7 and broadcast is scheduled for 2019.

Jobst Benthues, CEO of RedSeven Entertainment, described the format as “an extremely innovative, life-affirming and emotional new format.”

The format was created and produced by Red Arrow Studios-owned CPL Productions for Channel 4 in the UK, with a second season commissioned.

Red Arrow Studios International has already sold the format into territories including France, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden and Australia. The Spanish version, Cosas de la Edad, premieres on September 10 on Movistar+ channel #0, produced by Banijay Group’s Dlo/Magnolia.
