We in Flanders also have one such soap. 30 years, national tv began airing a series about a bunch of friends who play footie for fun (they really are the worst team in the world). They have one bumpy field to play on. On one side of the field is a pub, their club house, run by Pascale and her then husband. On the opposite site is a garage, of which the owner bears a grudge against the team because of all the broken windows... A typical setting, and that's the main reason why the series was - and still is - so succesful!
All of this time, the episode have been aired on TV, even when the last episode dates back to 2009. And it still ranks in the top ten of viewers ratings. It's safe to say everyone in Flanders (and beyond) knows De Kampioenen (the champions).
Yesterday evening it was announced that new episodes of this succesful series will be made, and then broadcasted in the course of 2021. With the same actors as in the original ones. Only Pascale's husband won't be present, as he took leave of the club and now lives in Africa with his new wife.
Everyone is excited about this news, and they made a big show of announcing it. So in some twenty or thirty years from now, they still will be running these new episode, just like the old ones!
