"House Rules" commissioned by SBS Netherlands
Munich, May 28, 2015. Red Arrow International
has sold rights to its hit home-makeover format "House Rules" to
SBS in the Netherlands. Produced by Skyhigh TV, eleven episodes
will be aired on Net5 this fall.
"House Rules" features five couples putting their homes on the
line for a life-changing prize: two years payment of their
mortgage. Originally created and produced by Seven Network
Operations for Seven Network in Australia, "House Rules" has
just started airing in a third season on Seven. Season two was a
ratings smash, beating "The Voice" and attracting multiple
sponsors.
Ana Henriques, Channel Manager Net5 says "'House Rules' is a
distinctive format in the many home-makeover formats that exist. We
are excited to broadcast the Dutch remake."
Tim Gerhartz, VP Sales and Acquisitions, UK, Scandinavia,
Benelux at Red Arrow International says "I am delighted that SBS
has picked up the show for the Netherlands. 'House Rules' is not
only a highly emotive show but also a great opportunity for
networks to work with sponsorship partners and integrate second
screen and social media seamlessly into the show."
About "House Rules" Five couples put their most
important possession - their homes - on the line, for a huge,
life-changing prize. Travelling across the country, each week one
couple hands over the keys of their home to their competitors, to
transform every room in their house in seven days - in any way they
want. Each homeowner issues their own set of "House Rules" - a list
of do's and don'ts. But rules are meant to be broken! How far can
each team go to transform their homes? Will the teams return to a
dream house - or to their worst nightmare? A group of home
professionals and the homeowners judge the results, and following a
tense finale, the home renovation winners are crowned.
