Season two of television series ‘The Children’s Hospital’ launches!

From Wednesday evening 12 February 2025, the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital (WKZ) will once again give the Netherlands a unique behind-the-scenes look at the hospital. The second season of ‘The Children’s Hospital’ has eight episodes this time.
In these eight episodes, the show follows coworkers at the WKZ as they battle with families for a better, healthier future. Emotional moments alternate with hopeful scenes in which children are allowed to leave the hospital.
RTL4 broadcasts ‘The Children’s Hospital’ weekly at 20:30. You can watch episodes on Videoland.
