Boer zoekt vrouw returns with daily autumn broadcast schedule
A flock of sheep and their herder grazing across a dune-and-heath landscape can easily trigger suspicion in an era saturated with reality television.
The upcoming run breaks from traditional scheduling. The program shifts to a daily weekday broadcast slot rather than airing on Sunday nights. Viewers will follow farmers Anne, Arianne, Jan, Joey, Maurice, and Perry as they search for romance.
NPO 1 sets November broadcast dates for the rollout
The rollout begins ahead of the official premiere. NPO 1 will air a five-minute preview on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 20:25, offering an early look at the contestants’ emotional hurdles. The main run officially starts the following day, Monday, November 9, when presenter Yvon Jaspers delivers the accumulated mail packages to the six farms.
New episodes will air every workday for three weeks at 21:30 on NPO 1. Fans can also stream the episodes for free via NPO Start, alongside additional updates provided through the program’s official website, newsletter, and social media channels.
Maurice prepares for his search on the farm
Among the participating farmers is Maurice, who brings a distinct background to the screen. Raised in a family of five children as the middle sibling, he learned early on that hard work is required to keep things running. He is a father of three children aged 16, 13, and 10.
Outside of farm chores, Maurice spends his rare free evenings cycling to Maastricht for a schnitzel or managing household duties. If he had not chosen agriculture, he notes that he would have pursued music, though he admits he never learned to read sheet music well enough to play the piano properly. After a 25-year relationship that ended two years ago, Maurice approaches the upcoming television search with renewed openness after spending time regaining his footing.
Unscripted moments on agricultural holdings
The core appeal of the franchise stems from the unpredictable nature of farm life, which resists absolute direction by production teams. During the 2022 season, farmer Jouke walked a date past his stables shortly after a calf’s birth, leaving the placenta in the straw while the newborn animal was licked by its mother. Incidents like that disrupt standard television dialogue.
The daily responsibilities of a working farm continue long after camera crews depart, anchoring the participants in routines that cannot be faked for the lenses.
