De Ludwigs follows the comedic adventures of the Ludwig family, a family of five foster children who live in an imposing Amsterdam canal house that also serves as a museum with their parents, Kate and Erik Ludwig (Tooske en Bastiaan Ragas).
When Kate and Erik mysteriously disappear, their five step-children - Benny (Timo Verbeek), Anoosha (Rosaline Lantink), Sam (Cedric van den Abbeele), Yara (Luca Hollestelle) and Daniel (Yassine El Ouardi) - are dragged into a thrilling adventure where the mysterious family history of the Ludwigs is gradually unravelled.
The children are not only focused on the recovery of their parents and solving the mystery, but in the meantime, they must do everything to keep the household running, fend off the Ludwig's greedy and duplicitous heirs, and prevent others discovering that their parents are gone.
Filmed locally in Amsterdam, De Ludwigs (20 X 30:00 minute episodes) is aimed at children aged 6 to 12 years, but brings an exciting story laced with mystery, humour and movie-quality television for the whole family to enjoy. The series is filmed in Amsterdam produced by Blooming Media. Cees Geel and Kees Hulst will also have roles in the series.
In addition to a Dutch version of De Ludwigs, Nickelodeon also announced they have commissioned Blooming Media to produce a English-language version of the series, titled The Ludwigs, which will begin airing on Nickelodeon channels globally, including in the USA, during the second half of 2016. The series will share the same sets and scripts as the Dutch version, and will also be shot in Amsterdam.
